Ben Griffin earned his first particular person PGA Tour victory this weekend on the Charles Schwab Problem, closing out a gradual last spherical at Colonial Nation Membership to win by one stroke. The win follows his staff success on the Zurich Traditional final month marking a major milestone in Griffin’s skilled profession.
Griffin’s efficiency all through the match was marked by consistency and resilience – typical of his present kind. He and Schmid have been tied for the second-round lead at 11 below, each capturing spectacular rounds of 7-under 63. Within the last spherical, Griffin maintained his composure, by no means falling behind, and secured the win with an important four-foot par putt on the 72nd gap.
The win at Colonial is a continuation of Griffin’s regular rise on tour. After briefly stepping away from the sport in 2021, he returned with renewed focus and earned his PGA Tour card for the 2023 season. Lower than two years later, he’s now a two-time winner – this time, on his personal.
As an additional bonus, Ben’s victory noticed him soar up the world rankings and into the highest 25, securing his entry into the 153rd Open Championship. Ben will likely be hoping to enhance on his T8 end on the PGA Championships final week when he tees it up at Royal Portrush within the last main of the 12 months.
Ben’s ball-striking and shut management, particularly along with his short-irons and wedges, was a key a part of his sport plan on a course that referred to as on all his scrambling expertise. Ben has been utilising our Mizuno Pro S-3 and T-1 wedges this 12 months and he has mentioned beforehand that the present Mizuno Pro line is “the very best Mizuno’s ever made,” – this week’s end result would offer some stable proof to again that up.
Everybody at Mizuno congratulates Ben on his first solo PGA Tour victory and appears ahead to what comes subsequent.
