Ben Griffin A Potential Sneaky Play At Mexico Open
Since his T7 finish at the AmEx, Ben Griffin has been battling a sick putter as he ranks 135th in strokes gained putting (-0.346) this season. This current run with the flat stick is the worst of his career and something that should come back around in time. The resort-style putting surfaces at this week's Mexico Open present a good opportunity to gain confidence in that department. They aren't as tricky to figure out, and the paspalum grass creates slower and more manageable conditions. The DNA of this course from tee to green is to hit it far, which Griffin has done fairly well at an average of 304.7 this season at an accuracy percentage of 62.66% (ranked 42nd). Throw in that he's gained over four and a half strokes on approach in his last two events--including last week at Torrey--and he makes a decent case for taking a chance on him this week.
