Ben Griffin Reveals Unfortunate News Before Final Round of Memorial Tournament
Ben Griffin Reveals Unfortunate News Before Final Round of Memorial Tournament originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ben Griffin is currently in second place at 7-under par overall after the third round of the Memorial Tournament. He lost his lead to Scottie Scheffler, who played a historic bogey-free round for the first time in his career at Muirfield Village. Advertisement After Moving Day, Griffin revealed a concerning detail about his life when talking to the media. He has a signature style of wearing sunglasses when playing golf on a sunny day, and the reason behind it is quite unfortunate. "I see floaters. I have really bad vision." He said. "So, about a year ago is when I started seeing floaters, went to an eye doctor, realized my retina was starting to kind of try to detach itself. I had retinal holes. "So I had to go get basically laser surgery to fill in those holes. I had eight retinal holes in both eyes. So I was at risk of losing vision maybe within five or six months had I not gotten the treatment." Ben Griffin walks to the 10th tee during the third round of the Memorial Tournament.© Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Griffin's surgery didn't fix the problem, but only stalled it from spreading. Living with the risk of losing vision at just 28 years is very tough. Advertisement "I still see the floaters. It was just like I had to get the surgery just to maintain my level." Griffin continued. "And because of that, when I wear sunglasses, it's a little bit darker out. So I don't necessarily see the floaters as well. If it's really bright out and I'm not wearing sunglasses, I look into the clouds or whatever and I see black stuff everywhere." The 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge winner will aim for a second consecutive victory, dueling with Scheffler, who holds a one-shot advantage and is also looking to join Tiger Woods as a back-to-back Memorial champion.

Scottie Scheffler Sets Record at Memorial Tournament originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler climbed up to lead with a score of 8-under par in the Memorial Tournament during Moving Day, after finishing fourth at the end of Day 2. He achieved this feat and also recorded a major personal career achievement. Advertisement The World No. 1 recorded a bogey-free round, his first-ever in his career at Muirfield Village, finding four birdies in holes 14,15,17 and 18. He is a favorite to win heading into the final round on Sunday. If he secures a win, he will join the history books of Muirfield Village alongside Tiger Woods by achieving back-to-back Memorial victories. However, Scheffler has to look over his shoulder, as Ben Griffin is right on his heels.

He recorded five bogeys and five birdies during the match, which evened out his score in Round 3. He will surely aim to minimize bogeys on Sunday. Advertisement Nick Taylor has dropped down to third after an up-and-down performance on Day 3. He opened with two consecutive bogeys, then recorded a double bogey on hole 12, followed by another bogey on 13. His saving grace was an eagle on 14 and a birdie on 15. Scheffler also had a hilarious interaction with a fan. After Day 3, he was practicing his shots at the range when a fan asked him to 'save those shots for tomorrow.' To this, his caddie, Ted Scott, responded, 'Don't be fooled … plenty more where that came from.' Scheffler is expected to find fairways effortlessly on Sunday.
