Ben Griffin won his first solo PGA Tour victory in the Colonial

Ben Griffin believes it wouldn't be easy even if he immediately broke the tie with co-leader Matti Schmid and had only five holes in the final round of the colony.

Schmid has always made it fun.

Griffin won his first man PGA Tour One month after winning the team event, a month of 268 in the Charles Schwab Challenge, finished 71 in Schmid’s 268, struggling on warm days and struggling for 30 mph in Hogan’s Ealley.

Ben Griffin beat Matti Schmid with 1

Schmid made a 4-foot par putter on the 72nd hole after forcing Griffin to crumble from the deep hair behind the green from the peel. Griffin rescued par from a rough, standing in a bunker, while the ball was on his feet, suffocating at the club. Schmid shot 72.

"First of all, it's like hitting the third shot," Griffin said. "In my mind, I was thinking Marty might do that. Luckily, I had that 4-foot ball. I felt good about it. Left edge and believed it."

Griffin and Schmid, 27-year-old Germans, won his first tour title in the 79th inning, and scored a match for the first three days.

Schmid was the guy who soared ahead early in the third round, taking a three-shot lead. Griffin scored five goals after just five holes in the final round, ending up with Schmid’s two-swing swing with 16 points before bringing the lead back to both holes with one hole.

Scottie Scheffler's score

Scottie Scheffler, the world's number one and home favorite Win the PGA Championship Last week, his Saturday sensation was unable to get comparisons from 10 shots. The three-time main champion started his sixth shot, but had only two birdies and a bogey, completing eight in 69.

Scheffler eight years ago Dustin Johnson won his first three straight games since Dustin Johnson and just missed his fourth straight top three in the colonial world. He tied for fourth, behind Bud Cauley, who shot 67.

“Overall, it was a very challenging day,” Schefler said. “I think Friday might hurt me in winning this game, but overall, I felt very solid for three of the four days I played.”

Rickie Fowler, who also never threatened the co-leader, began to start slowly, ending his faded hope with a 7-11-11-7. Fowler entered the top 25 in early 2024 with a shooting percentage of 74.

The 29-year-old Griffin teamed up with Andrew Novak, who won six in the colony and won the Zurich Classic last month in New Orleans. At that time, they left a speech for others like Griffin did Sunday.

Griffin and Schmid took a four-shot lead in the final round, staying 1-2 despite both being past par on the day.

Schmid has six bogeys and one double bogey, going with six birdies, while Griffin has four taboos when opened with the eagle and birdie.

“There is no lead on the PGA Tour,” Griffin said. “It feels like a game.

Griffin only had 4 out of 14 fairways and only 7 out of 18 greens, but had a continuous crown putt in the back nine, the first of 4 14 in 4, and he led by three when Schmid missed the shorter PAR putt.

Schmid hit his tee within 3 feet of the par 16 hole, and then Griffin missed the par putt. As Griffin saved the par from behind a tree on the fairway, momentum swung again, Schmid strangely inserted the ball into the bunker, aiming strangely at the hole, and eventually fell into a rough swamp.

"Only two places are green or long left right, and I think I'm going to have to raise it gradually at that time," Schmid said. "I think the drop up and down is a little simple. I was just trying to do five at that time, and thankfully, I did."

Then he made things interesting in the last hole.

"I honestly just tried to hit it for a long time," Schmid said. "Hit it was high, so it would stop quickly and get in a little bit correctly. A little bit of luck, but worth it."

Tommy Fleetwood got another highlight at the age of 18 after shooting 31 in the first nine games to compete for 31, but lost momentum at 11. His birdie putt stopped on the lips of the cup and he waited for nearly 30 seconds, hoping that the gust of wind would push the ball towards it. Nature has an obligation.

Fleetwood hit Scheffler 68 in the 41st top ten on the PGA Tour, a player who has not won since 1983.
