US EditionGriffin Hangs on at Colonial, Edges Schmid by 1
- On May 25, Ben Griffin narrowly defeated Matti Schmid by one stroke to capture the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge held at Colonial in Texas.
- Griffin’s victory followed his team win at the Zurich Classic last month and a hard-fought final round marked by strong winds and tough conditions.
- Both Griffin and Schmid struggled on the last day with gusts around 30 mph, but Griffin held a two-shot lead to the 18th hole and sank a critical four-foot par putt.
- Griffin smiled as he recalled how challenging it felt to connect with that third shot, likening it to a game of whack-a-mole, and mentioned that he shortened his grip on the wedge for his decisive chip.
- This marked Griffin’s first solo PGA Tour win and second title in 2025, earning him $1.7 million and a place on the Colonial Wall of Champions.
