Yep, the 2008 Players champ helped a guy named Ricardo propose to his girlfriend, Emma, by taking her inside the ropes, then delivering the ring. And thankfully, Emma said yes or Ricardo would have dived head first into the pond. Check out the video of this sweet moment:

Players Championship 2019: Twitter All-star Eddie Pepperell says Twitter is ‘everything I despise about life’

David CannonPONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The Florida sun is out in full force on Wednesday at TPC Sawgrass, and it's beating straight down on Eddie Pepperell. He's also surrounded by a herd of reporters, likely adding a few extra degrees to his body temperature.

This should come as no surprise to anyone who follows Pepperell on Twitter, or anyone who watched the final round of last year's Open Championship at Carnoustie. It was there where the Englishman fired a final-round 67, which briefly gave him the clubhouse lead. As he awaited for the tournament to finish, he told the media that he had posted one of the rounds of his life with a “little” hangover, achieving instant legend status on the internet.
