US EditionGriffin Keeps Rolling, Shoots 65 at Memorial
- Ben Griffin posted a 7-under 65 on Thursday at the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio, extending his strong form from last week’s PGA Tour win.
- The course featured dense rough comparable to a U.S. Open setup, partly softened by recent rain, which challenged players despite gentle wind conditions.
- Griffin made numerous birdies, including an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole using a 3-wood into 12 feet, but hit two shots in the water that led to bogeys on holes 11 and 12.
- Only 13 players broke par amid multiple triple bogeys on seven holes, showing the course's difficulty despite fairly soft conditions, with Shane Lowry and Collin Morikawa trailing Griffin closely.
- Griffin said, "It was an incredible day," but acknowledged he needs to work on his game after the water shots, suggesting continued aggressive play may be needed for upcoming events including back-to-back U.S. Opens.
