Ben Griffin turned in a strong showing at the 2025 Procore Championship, entering the final round as the 54-hole leader and showing poise under pressure. He birdied the first three holes on Sunday to build early momentum, but then went into a stretch of nine straight pars on the back of his hot start. Although he made some key birdies—especially at the 15th—and stayed close to Scottie Scheffler, a bogey on the 14th hole proved costly. He ultimately posted a final-round 70, finishing one stroke behind Scheffler.
Griffin’s missed opportunity came down to the final hole: after hitting his approach into the green and giving himself a long eagle look, he nearly drained it but settled for par when he couldn’t convert a shorter birdie putt. The result was a solo second-place finish at −18 overall. Griffin admitted afterward that his short putting wasn’t quite sharp enough, especially on Sunday, and that missing a few key 5- and 6-footers hurt his chances. Still, the performance gives him confidence as he heads into the Ryder Cup, showing he can contend deep in big events.
