Howell, 40, embraces playing with lead: 'Still relatively new for me'

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – This week’s RSM Classic is Charles Howell III’s 529th PGA Tour start. He’s made 410 cuts, won twice and earned over $1 million every year for 18 consecutive seasons. Despite all that, he’s looking to embrace something new this weekend at Sea Island Resort.

“I've almost done everything in my career, but playing with a lead isn't one thing I've really done a whole lot of,” Howell said. “I could talk to you about finishing second or third a lot. As many golf tournaments as I've played, this is still relatively new for me, which is kind of surprising at almost 40 years old that that would be something new.
