But to his credit, he found something when he needed it most as he made four birdies, including one on his final hole, to card a one-under-par 70 that saw him progress through to the weekend on the number at one over.

“It’s part of why we love the cut, right? It’s so integral to golf,” said an exhausted but elated Pepperell.

“This time for me, I was on the right side of it. So, delighted to have made it happen.
