WILSON: NO EXCUSE FOR BET SLIPS

- BY HECTOR NUNNS

EDDIE PEPPERELL insisted he is in no rush for the Ryder Cup or playing full-time in America after racing into a three-shot lead at the British Masters.

Uber-confident Matt Wallace, who could join him in the final group today, has declared he wants to emulate Ian Poulter and be Postman 2 in future European teams.

But quirky Pepperell has shown he is a different character in his off-beat blog and quirky Twitter postings.

The modest Qatar Masters winner claimed he would need a bottle of red wine to take his mind KYREN WILSON insists there are now no excuses for snooker players falling foul of tougher betting rules.

The 26-year-old (right), runner-up at this year’s Masters, has been tipped as a future world champion. But Wilson was distressed to see Jamie Jones suspended on Thursday.

The World No.39 was charged with ‘facilitati­ng’ over an alleged fixed match between Graeme Dott and the also-suspended David E Pepperell M Wallace J Smith L Bjerregaar­d (Den), J Suri (USA), A Sullivan, R Fisher, S Horsfield

R Karlsson (Swe), S Brown, D Drysdale, T Immelman (Rsa), A Bjork (Swe), M Fitzpatric­k T Lewis, P Dunne, W Ormsby (Aus), J Morrison

A Johnston, M Manassero (Ita), M Korhonen (Fin),

Z Lombard (Rsa), G FernandezC­astano (Spa), L Slattery, M Schwab (Aut), J Wang (Kor), T Fleetwood on snooker to match-fixing to be investigat­ed or to result in a ban, fine or sanction.

Wilson said: “Young players now have got a good idea of what they can and can’t do.

“It is quite clear, so I just don’t understand why anyone would risk it now.”
