EDDIE Pepperell has slipped further down the world rankings after finishing joint 54th in the Scottish Open at Castle Stewart on Sunday.

Pepperell, who this time last year was preparing for his first Open Championship, has dropped eight places to 162 in the world.

l BANBURY businesses gave their backing to a charity golf day and raised more than £12,000 for young carers in Oxfordshire.

Tom Clayton, this year’s captain at Tadmarton Heath Golf Club, decided to make Spurgeons his charity of the year after hearing about the difficulties that young carers have to cope with every day.

A team from Dovecote Kitchens, led by Paul Hopkins, emerged as the winners in an event that attracted 136 players.

Jaybee Motors of Banbury were the main sponsors.
