WATCH: Ben Griffin caught in hot mic moment at the Memorial Tournament 2025

Ben Griffin had a hot mic moment in the final round of the Memorial Tournament. It was held from Thursday, May 29, to Sunday, June 1, at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.

Griffin made a strong connection on the 451-yard par-4 13th hole, hitting 321 yards into the right rough, leaving 137 yards to the hole. After hitting the second shot, he was relieved to have avoided further trouble and was heard saying:

"Didn't kill myself"

His second shot went 104 yards into the left rough, leaving 35 yards to the hole. He eventually scored a bogey on the hole. Popular golf account NUCLR Golf posted the clip of Griffin's hot mic on their X page. The video can be watched below:

Ben Griffin finished as a runner-up to Scottie Scheffler by four strokes at the tournament. The 29-year-old had a splendid start at the tournament, where he posted a score of 7-under 65 with seven birdies, an eagle, against two bogeys. However, he couldn't maintain the momentum and scored 72, 72, and 73 in the final three rounds.

Talking about his performance after the final round, he said (via ASAP Sports):

"Definitely disappointed. My putter definitely wasn't quite a hundred percent there, kind of, most of the day. I made it exciting there at the end for a couple holes. But yeah, ultimately, I mean, it's funny, I'd take this finish, like, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. I'm definitely a little disappointed to not have made it a little bit closer or gotten it done."

Ben Griffin made $2.2 million from a prize purse of $20 million at the Memorial Tournament 2025.
