Pepperell apologizes to DeChambeau for name-calling

Two days after calling Bryson DeChambeau a "twit," Eddie Pepperell is offering an apology.

Pepperell had some choice words for DeChambeau after a video surfaced Friday night of DeChambeau taking more than 2 minutes to hit an 8-foot putt, tweeting, "Just look at Tommy and Justin, both looking completely bored. Slow players do this to their playing partners making the game less enjoyable. Problem is, the unaffected single minded twit in this instance, doesn’t care much for others."

The comment was part of severe backlash directed at DeChambeau on social media, as Tour players and fans piled on.
