Overview
- Griffin said he accidentally swallowed a hardened clump of creatine before the final round, triggering severe shakiness and tremor-like symptoms.
- He four-putted the first hole for triple bogey, hit out of bounds on the second, and was six over through three before the effects began to subside.
- After his caddie made him chug water, he settled in and played the final 15 holes in seven under for a 1-under 69 to finish tied for 12th.
- He remains qualified for the Tour Championship and sits ninth in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings, meaning selection would require a captain’s pick from Keegan Bradley.
- Viral footage of his opening-hole collapse spread widely as coverage noted medical guidance that creatine is generally safe when used properly; Griffin said he will limit his intake going forward.
