per the PGA Tour.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n\n \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,\u201d the two-time PGA Tour winner explained.\n <\/p>\n
\n Griffin said that he usually takes 15mg of the supplement daily, but on this occasion, he estimates he accidentally ingested that amount at one time.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cI was physically shaking like I\u2019ve never felt before,\u201d Griffin said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t normally miss a lot of short putts. It was really a weird situation.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The golfer said that his caddie intervened by making him drink water and calming him down.\n <\/p>\n
\n Griffin was six over par for the first three holes \u2013 carding a triple-bogey, double-bogey and bogey \u2013 and the golfer thought about withdrawing from the tournament, but after that, he said the physical effects started to wear off. He then made seven birdies and signed for a one-under 69, finishing tied for 12th in an impressive comeback.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt was probably more just a little bit flustered. I was fine after the second shot on two. And then it was \u2013 I felt good so I went about my day and got it back to under par,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n
\n The golfer said he will be limiting his intake of the supplement in future, calling the events of the day a \u201cpretty crazy story.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be taking too much creatine in the future. I will take it, but not in the amount that I probably did on the golf course, which wasn\u2019t probably a healthy amount.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link American golfer Ben Griffin got the shakes at the BMW Championship \u2013 though it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-94435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
