However, he battled back to shoot 1-under 69.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, the 29-year-old blamed his poor performance on a large dose of the supplement creatine, which left him shaking and considering withdrawing from the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t take it until I basically tee\u2019d off on 1. I was at the end of my batch. I had basically a snowball of creatine, so had been in my bucket for a month, and broke it up and put in any water bottle,\u201d Griffin explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally swallowed one of the big rocks in my water bottle. I\u2019ve never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment because I didn\u2019t really drink any water after that. I basically just inhaled a snowball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never felt like that before and I felt like I had tremors. I like was freaking out and didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very proud of the way I bounced back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won the FedEx Cup playoffs\u2019 BMW Championship in Maryland after snatching the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-76136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
