While Rory McIlroy fell out of contention at the Irish Open, his playing partner David Howell shot a round-best 7-under 64 to take a share of the lead Saturday.
The 36-year-old Howell put himself in contention for his first tournament win in five years by shooting what he called his best round in 12 months. Coincidentally, his previous best, also a 64, happened on the same Killarney course on the opening day of last year's event.
Howell ended up sharing the lead when England's Simon Dyson birdied the 17th hole and Australia's Richard Green birdied the last. Both finished with rounds of 67 to join Howell at 11-under 202.
