Irish Open Diary: Eddie Pepperell turning deaf ear as partying gets into swing

Eddie Pepperell may have earned himself a late tee time in today’s third round at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open after he followed his opening 65 with a 67 yesterday, but the Englishman is not banking on a good night’s sleep in Lahinch.

“I’ve actually been woken up the last couple of nights at 3am by the locals,” Pepperell, 28, revealed. “So I’m going to go buy myself some earplugs and try and get some more sleep.”
