Hungover Pepperell still fires 4-under at Open

Eddie Pepperell says he was a ``little hung over'' during his round of 4-under 67 that has left him one shot off the lead at the Open Championship when he walked off the course.

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."

Pepperell teed off at 11.
