WATCH - Eddie Pepperell makes par from a toilet


By Matt Hardisty

Eddie Pepperell made possibly the par of the day at the 17th on day three of the acciona Open de España presented by Madrid after putting his tee-shot where nobody wants to go unless they need to go.



The Englishman sent his tee-shot a long way left and saw his ball scurry under a toilet but got a break as the presence of the grandstand meant he could go to the drop-zone by the side of the green.

While fans searched for his lost ball under the WCs, Pepperell looked like he had squandered his good fortune as he played a poor chip, only to hole from 18 feet and make a three.

"I played well on the front nine and then toilet on the back nine, I even ended up hitting some," he said.

"I felt sorry for the person in the toilet. I had no idea it was that far left. I knew it wasn't a very good shot but I didn't expect it to end up where it did.

"I got a very good break, really, and a bad chip and a very good putt. The putter bailed me out there at the end."

The best three of his life? It certainly wasn't a number two.
