ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. This weeks RSM Classic is Charles Howell IIIs 529th PGA Tour start. Hes made 410 cuts, won twice and earned over $1 million every year for 18 consecutive seasons. Despite all that, hes 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.
