Englishman Eddie Pepperell says he was a "little hung over" during his round of 4-under 67 that took him to within one shot of the lead at the British Open.
Pepperell ended up finishing in a share of sixth place taking home US$380,000, three shots behind winner Francesco Molinari.
After
shooting 71 on Saturday to start the final round eight strokes off the lead, Pepperell said he was "so frustrated" and had "too much to drink last night."
The No. 72-ranked English golfer hadn't been hopeful ahead of Sunday's round, saying "today was, really, I wouldn't say a write-off, but I didn't feel I was in the golf tournament."
