The author proves slight generalizations of the following theorems of \textit{E. G. Evans} and \textit{P. Griffith} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 114, 323-333 (1981; Zbl 0497.13013)]: Let \(A\) be a regular local ring containing a field; (i) If \(I\) is an unmixed three generated ideal of height 2, then \(A/I\) is Cohen-Macaulay; (ii) If \(I\) is a prime ideal of height 2 such that \(\text{Ext}^2_A (A/I,A)\) is cyclic, then \(I\) is generated by two elements. In the generalizations the regularity of \(A\) is replaced by the Cohen-Macaulay property for (i) and the Gorenstein property for (ii). Moreover, \(I\) is just assumed to be an ideal of finite projective dimension.
