<\/p>\nBen Griffin avoided the mistakes that slowed his two challengers on Sunday and rolled in three long birdie putts for a nine-under 63 to win the World Wide Technology Championship for his third PGA Tour title of the season.<\/p>\n
Griffin two-putted for birdie on the par-five 18th at El Cardonal at Diamante for a two-shot victory. He joined Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy as the only players with at least three wins in 2025, with one of those for Griffin a team event in New Orleans.<\/p>\n
Griffin, playing for the second time since his Ryder Cup debut, ran off five straight birdies starting at the eighth. That included a 40-foot putt on the par-three 11th to tie the lead, a 25-foot putt on the 12th for his first outright lead and a 25-foot putt on the par-three 16th that all but sealed it.<\/p>\n
Griffin now moves to a career-best No 9 in the world rankings.<\/p>\n

He made birdie on all four of the par threes in the final round.<\/p>\n
“After making a few birdies early, I kind of pushed myself a little bit harder than the past few weeks when I was in contention to kind of keep the pedal down,” Griffin said.<\/p>\n
“Fortunately, the putter heated up, made a lot of putts on the back nine. It was fun feeling the nerves down the stretch trying to hold things off. It was nice to make a couple down the stretch.”<\/p>\n
Sami Valimaki (64) and Chad Ramey (65) tied for second and picked up a valuable consolation. Finland’s Valimaki started the week at No 103 in the FedExCup and moved to No 76, assuring a full card for next year. Ramey went from No 123 to No 89 and is likely safe to keep his card.<\/p>\n
Two tournaments remain before the top 100 in the FedExCup keep full status for 2026.<\/p>\n
Griffin’s biggest challenges came from Garrick Higgo and Carson Young, who shared the lead going to the back nine on another day of virtually no wind.<\/p>\n

Enable Cookies<\/a> Higgo’s hopes came undone with a tee shot into a bush on the 12th that required him to take a penalty for an unplayable lie, leading to a double-bogey. He shot 68 and finished three behind.<\/p>\n Young made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 12th and was tied with Griffin at 27 under.<\/p>\n But his approach on the 13th went left down a slope, across a cart path and into the native area. He made bogey, hit a pedestrian pitch on the par-five 14th that kept him from a good look at birdie, and then three-putted for bogey on the 15th. He shot 68 and tied for sixth.<\/p>\n Griffin had no such issues aside from a three-putt bogey on the fifth hole. He was rock solid from there and finished at 29-under 259.<\/p>\n What’s next?<\/p>\n Watch coverage of the DP World Tour Play-Offs conclude with the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai from November 13 live on Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event from 7am.<\/p>\n You also watch the PGA Tour’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship on Thursday November 13, live on Sky Sports Golf from 6pm.<\/p>\n Get the best prices and book a round at one of 1,700 courses across the UK & Ireland<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Griffin avoided the mistakes that slowed his two challengers on Sunday and rolled in three long birdie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-254832","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
