Ben Griffin Aiming to be in the Mix at Open Championship
Ben Griffin took a little time off after the John Deere Classic. The American golfer has several Top 10 results in 2026 highlighted by solid finishes in the first three Majors. The T-14 at the PGA Championship and T-17 at the US Open indicate even more upside. Griffin heads to Royal Birkdale where significant chances have occurred since 2021. Several holes including the 5th, 7th, and 14th have seen quite a renovation. Griffin's ability to putt is big here where he has gained 0.432 strokes (19th). A good start is key at England and Griffin averages a tour best 27.37 putts per opening round. Griffin could easily have good numbers to lead Round 1 and/or be a DFS standout.
