Betfred British Masters, Day 3: Eddie Pepperell's 40 ft putt to lead the pack

Betfred British Masters 2021 at The Belfry: 12-15 May: Round Three

Eddie Pepperell leads the pack after 40 ft putt

From European Tour News Report

Eddie Pepperell birdied the last to jump out of a congested pack and take a one shot lead as he looks to win the trophy for a second time at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Danny Willett.

The Englishman won the event in 2018 - the same season he finished a career best 14th on the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex - and a third round 68 moved him to ten under and put him in pole position to claim a third European Tour title at The Belfry.

But he had six players just one shot behind him, including World Number 45 Robert MacIntyre and 2010 Ryder Cup star Edoardo Molinari - who carded the lowest round of the week with a 64. Read more

From The Courier UK, by Steve Scott:

A 40-foot bomb of a putt by Eddie Pepperell on the famous final green of the 18th at the Belfry broke an almighty log-jam on the British Masters leaderboard but Scots Robert MacIntyre and Calum Hill are still in touch.

16 players are within three shots of Pepperell’s 10-under lead going into Saturday’s final round, with MacIntyre and Hill both one back sharing second. Neither of the Scots had their best stuff on a dead calm day in the West Midlands, but they hung tough for two-under 70s to stay right in the mix.  Read more
