EDDIE Pepperell tees off at the DP World Tour Championship tomorrow aiming to end the year on a high.

The Abingdon golfer begins his opening round at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai, at 4.05am GMT alongside Welshman Jamie Donaldson.

Pepperell has made the cut at his last five tournaments, but the world No 125 has been unable to challenge at the top of the leaderboard over the last fortnight.

The Frilford Heath member tied for 50th at the same course at last week’s Golf in Dubai Championship, despite carding ten-under par overall.

He tied for 64th at the Alfred Dunhill Championship a week earlier after falling away in the second half of the weekend.
