U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley on playing at Bethpage, new unis<\/p>\n

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley explains the emotions that go along with playing at Bethpage.<\/p>\n

Golfer Ben Griffin had considerable troubles during the final round at the BMW Championship<\/a>, carding a 6-over in his first three holes of the day.<\/p>\n

Griffin triple bogeyed the first hole at the FedExCup Playoff tournament at Caves Valley Golf Club outside of Baltimore, and after his round, he gave a strange reason for his bad start.<\/p>\n

Griffin says he had a snowball-sized clump of creatine<\/a> on the golf course, after which he started to shake and said he felt like he had tremors.<\/p>\n

“I take creatine as a supplement, and this morning I didn\u2019t take it until I basically teed off on one. I was at the end of my batch, and I had this like, basically a snowball of creatine. So it had been in my bucket for a month, and broke it up and put it in my water bottle. Whatever, I’m all good. I’ve taken it on the golf course before. It’s fine,” Griffin said.<\/p>\n

“I started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally swallowed one of the big rocks that was in my water bottle. I’ve never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment because I didn’t really drink any water after that. I basically just inhaled like a snowball.”<\/p>\n

Griffin finished tied for 12th with a 3-under par for the tournament, which was won by the world’s No. 1 player, Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n

Griffin’s score was good enough to be one of the top 30 players at the\u00a0season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley on playing at Bethpage, new unis U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,2342,12397,32062,622,2034,44,1333,2042,5556,3747,6354,6353,1974,82,865,267],"class_list":["post-87299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cup","tag-fedex","tag-fedex-cup","tag-golf","tag-neutral","tag-news","tag-overall","tag-overall-neutral","tag-pga","tag-pga-tour","tag-scheffler","tag-scottie","tag-scottie-scheffler","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
