When he captured the European Tour's flagship event, the BMW Championship in 2006, David Howell forced his way into the world's top 10 and at the time became officially Britain's best golfer.

Howell's success has been built on a reliable long game allied to a deadly putting stroke.

At 6ft 1in tall, he creates a steady base for his putting stroke by taking a wide stance. Note how he tilts his upper body over the ball until the top of his back and neck are parallel to the ground. This allows his arms to hang freely at address ready for a fluid and unrestricted motion.
