"Seems my comment regarding Bryson's slow play
has garnered plenty of attention and I just want to sincerely
apologize to Bryson for being personal and referring to him as a
'twit,'" the 28-year-old English golfer wrote on Twitter. "That
was unnecessary and something I shouldn't have said."
Pepperell made his original comments Friday after videos
surfaced of DeChambeau taking more than two minutes to attempt
(and miss) an 8-foot putt.
"Just look at Tommy (Fleetwood) and Justin (Thomas), both
looking completely bored," Pepperell said. "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."
"Eddie Pepperell, not fair to say," DeChambeau told reporters
after seeing the comments. "I would love to speak to him
personally and talk about it."
Patrick Reed won the tournament Sunday at Liberty National in
Jersey City, N.J. DeChambeau finished in a tie for 24th place at
7 under. Pepperell was not in the field.
