Ben griffin is in a Sungjae as a similar ribbon This season, playing every week so far since Sony Open.
The reason why? He wants to play masters.
“Has always been a childhood dream of playing in masters,” Said Griffin in an interview with Golf BEFORE Houston for children in Texas this week Open. “And it would be really interesting for him, you know, start a good start this week with Augusta’s entering, too. That would let me off the next week, prepare for Augusta, play there and then see where the rest of the season gets me.”
Griffin, in his third season at PGA Tour, is at the best start of his new career, having already won three Top-10, including T4 back-backs in Mexico Open and Cognant Classic. After the recognition, Griffin was a 48 high career in the official worldly golf ranking, but has fallen to 53 with the back cuts in the players and Valsspar.
This is important because the 50 main players in OWGR after this week earn invitations to the masters. Girffin has never played in the first half of the year, so he is taking advantage of his strong game to start the season and play as much as he can.
“I dreamed of playing at PGA Tour since I was a little kid,” said Griffin, “and I try to play in as many tours as possible. So I try to stay true in my roots. No doubt things change when they are more, be careful.
“Fun is fun. I don’t care. I’m still feeling fresh, even though it’s week 12. I’ll continue for as long as I should. I love it.”
