EDDIE Pepperell has broken into the world’s top 50 for the first time following his

joint-second place finish in the Portugal Masters.

The Abingdon pro has moved up from 55th to 49th in the rankings as well as climbing to tenth in the European Tour’s Race to Dubai.

If he finishes 2018 inside the top 50, he will qualify for next year’s Masters at Augusta.
