Ben Griffin Attempts to Put the Memorial in the Rearview Mirror
Ben Griffin probably did not want to talk about the Memorial. The American golfer left early after a 74-77 on the course that Jack built. One of the big issues for Griffin was putting. He lost 1.67 strokes to putting and missed several easier putts as well. Two red flags about Shinnecock are obvious. Griffin's approach and off the tee metrics are not optimal for Shinnecock. With a long course, hitting longer shots from 200+ yards is almost a prerequisite. That is a weak part of Griffin's repertoire (157th at 60 feet 2 inches). If the golfer can temper the winds on Thursday and make some putts, that could pave the way for Griffin to be a weekend DFS option.
