Ben Griffin’s stellar performance in Mexico secures his third PGA Tour title of the year. Los Cabos, Mexico, AP. In a thrilling display of precision and skill, Ben Griffin emerged victorious at the worldwide technology championship, claiming his third PGA Tour title of the season. With a masterful 63 underpar score, Griffin showcased his prowess, avoiding the pitfalls that plagued his competitors and sinking three crucial long-range birdies. The 18th hole at El Cardonal at Diamonte proved to be a pivotal moment as Griffin’s two putted birdie secured a two-shot lead over his rivals. This triumph places Griffin in an elite group alongside Scotty Sheoffller and Rory Mroy, who are the only players to have achieved at least three wins each. Notably, one of Griffin’s victories was in a team event in New Orleans. Griffin’s performance was nothing short of remarkable as he demonstrated exceptional consistency throughout the tournament. He achieved birdies on all four par three holes, showcasing his exceptional putting skills. After an early surge, Griffin maintained his focus and determination, pushing himself to maintain a strong pace. I pushed myself a little harder than in previous weeks when I was in contention, Griffin explained. The putter performed exceptionally well, and I made numerous putts on the back nine. It was thrilling to feel the nerves during the final stretch, knowing I had to hold off the competition. It was a joy to secure a couple of birdies in the closing moments. As a result of his outstanding performance, Griffin has climbed to a career best ninth position in the world rankings. His success has also had a positive impact on his fellow competitors. Sammy Valamaki and Chad Ramy shared second place, both shooting 64 and 65, respectively. Valamaki’s impressive rise from 103rd to 76th in the FedEx Cup rankings ensures his full card for next year. Ramy, who moved from 123rd to 89th, is also likely to retain his card. With two tournaments remaining before the top 100 in the FedEx Cup secure their full status for 2026, the competition remains fierce. Valimaki expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, stating, “My primary goal for these last three tournaments was to secure my playing rights for the next year, and I believe this finish will accomplish that.” The tournament witnessed a fierce battle for the lead with Garrick Higgo and Carson Young sharing the top spot going into the back nine. However, Higgo’s game took a turn for the worse when his T-shot on the 12th hole landed in a bush, resulting in a penalty and a double bogey. He finished three strokes behind, shooting a 68. Young, on the other hand, faced his own challenges. His approach shot on the 13th hole veered left descending a slope and came to rest in the native area leading to a bogey. He then struggled with a pedestrian pitch on the par 514th missing a good birdie opportunity and three putted for bogey on the 15th. Young finished in a tie for sixth shooting a 68. In contrast, Griffin’s performance was flawless. Aside from a three-p putt bogey on the fifth hole, he maintained his composure and finished with an impressive 29 under 259 score. As if his achievements on the golf course weren’t enough, “Griffin is set to tie the knot next month with his fiance Dana Meeroff.” He humorously remarked, “It’s crazy how I’ve achieved three wins and am getting married in the same year. It’s hard to beat.” Higo’s performance also deserves recognition as he moved up to 52nd in the FedEx Cup rankings, securing a spot in the prestigious Pebble Beach and Riviera Signature events early next season, both offering $20 million. Higo has consistently finished in the top seven in his four starts during the FedEx Cup fall. I’ve had a lot of positive experiences, Higgo stated. I’ve been in contention in the last four events.
