Ben Griffin was a part of the star-studded field at the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open that concluded at The Renaissance Golf Club on Sunday, July 16.
The American golfer recently opened up on dealing with inclement weather on the course. Griffin revealed that it was really difficult for him to play on the course. To compete in the event, he had a lot of strategy and angles.
In a social media post made by the PGA Tour, Griffin said:
"This is my first time over here playing links golf, links style golf at least. And it's hard to even explain what the conditions are like. A lot of strategy, a lot of angle golf, a lot of guessing more than anything. But coming down the stretch, 16 is going to be straight into the wind. 17 has got a huge crosswind and 18. I mean, basically, all of us had 3-wood in.
"So, it's very difficult. It's going to take a lot of pars down the stretch to win. There's a couple of birdies on the first few on the back nine, but once you get through kind of 13, you're out of birdies holes. So from here, it's hold on. If you grab a birdie, it's pretty remarkable. So it's going to be interesting to see how things shake out," he added.
The Genesis Scottish Open concluded with Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy winning his second event of the year. He registered a one-stroke victory over Robert Maclntyre.
