WALTON HEATH, England — Eddie Pepperell won his second European Tour title with a two-shot victory at the British Masters on Sunday and likely secured the even bigger prize of a place in next year’s Masters at Augusta National. Herbert Lucas (69) and Jordan Smith (73) were tied for third, another two shots behind Bjork. The victory takes Pepperell into the world’s top 35 and almost certainly secures a first appearance at Augusta in 2019. There was still time for some late drama, though, as Pepperell dropped shots on Nos. 15 and 16 to see his lead cut to a single shot, but Bjork bogeyed the 18th after driving into the heather and Pepperell saved par from a greenside bunker.
