Eddie Pepperell talks with his caddie on the 18th green during the final round of The Open Championship at Carnoustie Golf Club in Carnoustie, Scotland

Pepperell held the clubhouse lead briefly and ended up tied for sixth with Tiger Woods and Kevin Chappell. 

"I was a little hung over. I won't lie. I had too much to drink last night," Pepperell said.

On Saturday, Pepperell shot a 71 that left him frustrated. So he had some drinks with his coach and "we just drowned our sorrows for a half hour and had a good chat with a few people."

Later Sunday he tweeted he wasn't "THAT drunk last night! I remember having a shower and brushing my teeth so I’d say I was fine."

According to the European Tour, Pepperell won 281,218 Euros on Sunday, which is $329,805.
