Ben Griffin ‘overdoses’ on creatine at BMW Championship in first-hole disaster

The BMW Championship took an unexpected turn for golfer Ben Griffin as he struggled in the final round due to a creatine mishap. The day started off with a disastrous four-putt on the first hole followed by hitting his tee shot out of bounds on the second hole. Griffin later revealed that the shaky start was a result of accidentally ingesting a large amount of creatine, causing him to feel tremors and lose control.

Despite the rocky start, Griffin managed to bounce back and birdie seven of the final 12 holes to finish tied for 12th in the tournament. This comeback was a testament to his resilience and determination on the course. The 29-year-old golfer had a successful season, securing his first two career wins at the Zurich Classic and the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Griffin’s performance has also put him in contention for a spot on the Ryder Cup team, currently ranked ninth in the standings. His strong showing throughout the season has garnered attention and potential consideration for the prestigious event against Europe next month at Bethpage.

The BMW Championship was ultimately won by Scottie Scheffler, who claimed his fifth title of the season after a thrilling battle with Robert MacIntyre. Both Scheffler and Griffin will be part of the elite field competing at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, where the winner will walk away with a hefty $10 million prize.

Despite the initial setback caused by the creatine mishap, Ben Griffin’s resilience and determination shone through as he fought back to secure a respectable finish in the BMW Championship. His performance throughout the season has solidified his standing in the golfing world and positioned him as a potential star to watch in future tournaments.
