Golfer shoots lowest round of British Open's final day while hungover

Eddie Pepperell shot the low round on the final day of the British Open and held the clubhouse lead until fellow Englishman Justin Rose swiped it.

Not one to look back, Pepperell said he didn't waste time wondering what might have been.

"I was a little hung over. I won't lie. I had too much to drink last night," he said after shooting 67 and finishing in a three-way tie for sixth. "I was so frustrated yesterday (after shooting 71) that today was really, I wouldn't say a write-off, but I didn't feel I was in the golf tournament.

"Whether I shot 69 or 73 today, it wouldn't have been heartbreaking. But as it happens, I shot 67. So you know," he added, "It's a funny game."
