3 months agoBen Griffin is coming off a successful week at The American Express, finishing T7 with scores of 66-69-66-68. He now turns his focus to the Farmers Insurance Open, an event he has played in twice during his young career. In 2023, Griffin finished T31, and in 2024, he missed the cut. Torrey Pines rewards both driving distance and accuracy, two areas where Griffin has shown significant improvement. He has added an average of 17.9 yards to his driving distance this year and currently ranks 54th on tour in total driving, a major jump from his 171st ranking in 2024. With narrow fairways, scrambling from the rough and greens in regulation will be key this week. Griffin finished 2024 ranked 13th and 40th in those categories, respectively. At $8,100 on DraftKings, Griffin is an intriguing option for fantasy managers.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

1 month agoAfter back-to-back T4 finishes, Ben Griffin has struggled to keep the momentum going, finishing T45 at the API and missing the cut at The Players. Ball striking is the culprit to his struggles, as the 28-year-old has averaged -0.65 in strokes gained on approach and -0.46 in strokes gained off the tee over his last two starts. While those aren't the largest deficits to reverse, they're certainly concerning coming to a venue that places such a premium on shot placement. In two career starts, the short game and putting have been his saving grace, and it looks to call for that again this time. At $9,700, the game isn't showing enough signs of life to deem him more than a flyer pick this week.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

2 months agoBen Griffin has sniffed victory in back-to-back starts with two consecutive fourth-place finishes at the Cognizant Classic and the Mexico Open. He now looks ahead to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he has competed just once, finishing T13 in 2023. To succeed at Bay Hill, players will need to be sharp off the tee and excel with long irons, especially given the forecasted 20-plus-mph winds this weekend. These are areas where Griffin has excelled, ranking 34th in total driving and 58th in strokes gained per round on approach. He also ranks in the 78th percentile for proximity from 200-plus yards, a distance that accounts for 31.7% of all approach shots at this course. Additionally, he is eighth on tour in proximity from 175-200 yards, which makes up 17.4% of all approach shots. Given his recent form and ability to hit these key stats, Griffin is worth strong consideration by fantasy managers at his price tag of $7,600 on DraftKings.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

2 months agoAfter a few events of frustratingly poor results with positive metrics, Ben Griffin put everything together for a solid T4 finish in Mexico last week. Ranking third in the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.48), and inside the top 20 for strokes gained around the green (+0.64) and putting (+0.79). The former UNC golfer ranks better with the longer irons in his bag, so it will be interesting to see how his game changes back to a shorter course with much less room for error. The work on the greens is by-far the worst metric this season for the 28-year-old, ranking 114th in strokes gained putting (-0.149). It was luckily much improved last week at Vidanta Vallarta, and being on similar feel for the next several weeks will hopefully mean big things for Griffin if the ball striking form remains.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

2 months agoSince his T7 finish at the AmEx, Ben Griffin has been battling a sick putter as he ranks 135th in strokes gained putting (-0.346) this season. This current run with the flat stick is the worst of his career and something that should come back around in time. The resort-style putting surfaces at this week's Mexico Open present a good opportunity to gain confidence in that department. They aren't as tricky to figure out, and the paspalum grass creates slower and more manageable conditions. The DNA of this course from tee to green is to hit it far, which Griffin has done fairly well at an average of 304.7 this season at an accuracy percentage of 62.66% (ranked 42nd). Throw in that he's gained over four and a half strokes on approach in his last two events--including last week at Torrey--and he makes a decent case for taking a chance on him this week.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller
