HOWELL III TAKES EARLY LEAD IN FASHION AWARDS

I told them - if you want to wear a sweater like this, you HAVE to play well!AUGUSTA. Charles Howell III made all the early running in the "unofficial Masters" - the AnyoneForTee award for best and worst dressed golfer in the tournament. The award is the first event with scoring points that count towards AnyoneForTee's eagerly anticipated year-end Fashion Awards for World Golf – best and worst, men’s and women’s.

Starting with this week’s first Major, and focusing on all the key professional circuits, AnyoneForTee will poll readers around the globe before delivering the verdicts in late 2003 on the highs and lows of golfing sartorial elegance.

Howell III made a stunning start to the fashion circuit, blitzing everyone on the first day with a white-fronted Callaway sweater covered in black diamonds while the back of the sweater was the orange of an Austin Powers limo.

James Lawton, sportswriter with UK newspaper The Independent, was moved to write: "The moment you learned that Howell is dressed for golf by Jesper Parnevik's outfitter J. Lindeberg, you knew that he was not going to resemble James Bond at the cocktail hour. But the son of a local surgeon, who learned his golf at the Augusta Country Club across the road, was an alarming sight. The front of his sweater was covered in black diamonds, the back of it a garish orange."

Toms - where did you get that hatHowell will be able to display his sharp-suited splendour more over the weekend - he started the tournament strongly to be just one over after the first two rounds.

The only other player to make a move on the first day was David Toms, a sartorial journeyman by Howell's standards, but who distinguished himself by wearing a cap that was only just slightly smaller than his entire head.
