Eddie Pepperell finished runner-up in the Egyptian Amateur Championship after losing out to England teammate Jack Senior.

The 19-year-old Drayton Park member was pipped by Senior (Heysham) at the first play-off hole.

Both players finished the 54-hole event at Katameya Heights in Cairo on 215 – one-under-par.

The consistent Senior carded rounds of 72, 72 and 71 in the windy conditions, while Pepperell shot 74, 69 and 72.

Then a 12-foot putt for a birdie-three on the first extra hole saw Senior to victory.

The top five players secured invites to the Egyptian Open, part of the European Challenge Tour, October 20 to 23.
