DAVID Howell will be left feeling a little frustrated with his turn for home at the Trophee Hassan II.

The Swindon ace was looking in a strong position for being among the leaders on the second day in Morocco after completing his first nine holes, after teeing off from the 10th, in three-under-par.

And when the Broome Manor pro completed hole one things were looking even brighter when he collected his fifth birdie of the day.

But then the 39-year-old dropped shots on the second and third hole pegged him back to four-under for the tournament.

Howell then parred the following six holes at the Golf du Palais Royal is Agadir to ensure that he made the cut.
