Amanda Balionis congratulates Ben Griffin after Charles Schwab Challenge
Ben Griffin recently showcased incredible performance at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge and ended up earning his first individual PGA Tour victory. The 29-year old finished the tournament with a total score of 12 under par 268. Balionis had the opportunity to interview Griffin during the tournament.
Amanda Balionis shared some snaps from the interview session with the PGA Tour pro on Instagram. She congratulated Griffin in the caption:
"Success often happens so slowly and then, if you're lucky, can happen all at once. @bengriffingolf paused his dreams of becoming a @pgatour player in 2021 and took a job as a mortgage broker. The North Carolina knew it wasn't the end and gave it another shot. So much hard work, self belief, and persistence led to Griffin claiming not one but TWO wins in the last month..."
During his final round, Ben opened the final 18 holes with an eagle and a birdie. Despite facing considerable challenges during the back nine, Griffin had a close win over Matti Schmid, winning the tournament with just one stroke.
