OXFORDSHIRE’S Eddie Pepperell produced an up and down round to end day one of the Portugal Masters tied for 56th place.

The Frilford Heath golfer, from Abingdon, carded five birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey for a one-under-par total of 70 at the Oceanico Victoria club.

Starting on the tenth tee, Pepperell was two-under-par after three holes, but he could not maintain that form.
