Ben Griffin takes a 2-shot lead in Napa ahead of his Ryder Cup debut

Ben Griffin, a Ryder Cup wildcard with two PGA Tour wins, leads the Procore Championship by three strokes while preparing for his debut alongside other rookies and team members.

  • Ben Griffin established a three-shot advantage at the 2025 Procore Championship in Napa as he readies himself for his first Ryder Cup appearance, scheduled in a fortnight at Silverado.
  • Griffin and three other Ryder Cup rookies, including Russell Henley and Bill Spaun, used this event to maintain sharpness after many U.S. players previously lacked competition for a month.
  • Griffin played bogey-free for the second consecutive day with a 6-under 66, while Henley trailed by three shots despite some setbacks like a three-putt bogey.
  • Griffin acknowledged that while there has been some Ryder Cup-related camaraderie off the course with his teammates, once he steps up to the first tee, his focus shifts entirely to playing well in the tournament.
  • This tournament serves as key preparation for the U.S. team’s competitive momentum and skill fine-tuning before the Ryder Cup, with ten players involved under captain Keegan Bradley.
