When he walked off of the 18th green Ben Griffin held the lead at the Memorial Tournament on Thursday. He also did so without touching his putter on the green in question.

That’s right. Ben Griffin chipped in to cap an opening round 65 at Jack’s place.

They say that when you’re hot you are hot in professional golf and there is no question that Griffin is really feeling things right now. He is the most recent winner on the PGA Tour as he took home the title last week at the Charles Schwab and he is starting to really make some overall noise in the sport.

We are still incredibly early in the season and even in the tournament as Griffin has only played one round at the Memorial, but his name is starting to really pop in golf. Could he turn this form into a run that earns him a spot on the Ryder Cup team?

With play like this, anything is possible.
