Pepperell: Returning to old coach 'like a crack addiction'

ORLANDO, Fla. – Eddie Pepperell has less of a filter than a 10-year air conditioning unit. But that’s why the 28-year-old, who stands 6 feet tall and weighs just 160 pounds, has tipped the scales on Twitter by becoming a social-media heavyweight.

The Englishman struck gold again Friday at Bay Hill Club and Lodge. No cell phone needed. And definitely no filter.

“You haven’t got enough words to write, I’m afraid,” said Pepperell after being asked where his second-round, 4-under 68 came from.

Pepperell had been in a dark place with his golf swing, particularly with his iron play.
