ORLANDO, Fla. – It was a common question that received an uncommon response.
Thoughts on the round?
“Thoughts?” Eddie Pepperell said, quizzically, before remembering what he was so eager to share.
“Oh, this is the thought.”
He reached down, grabbed his pantleg and started to roll it up.
“You’re going to love this,” he continued.
Moments later, Pepperell was showing off the new pair of Stance socks that he had purchased last week in Austin, Texas.
“I put them on today,” said Pepperell, who wore his newfound lucky socks to the tune of a 4-under 68 Friday at Bay Hill Club & Lodge, where he is in contention, at 4 under and five shots back, in his first Arnold Palmer Invitational.
