Ben Griffin’s cho chip blocked his victory. Here’s how to hit this cool shot

You won’t transition from a mortgage broker to a two-time PGA Tour title without knowing how to hit the ball.

Ben Griffin did this on Sunday’s Charles Schwab Challenge, capturing his second PGA Tour (and first solo victory) by converting the clutch in the last hole to protect his two-shot lead.

Griffin’s ball was deeply seated in the depths of the clumsy Bermuda, above the uphill. His position that arises is embarrassing: the ball on the feet that is knee-height. With the green speed as fast as the colonies, it was easy for Griffin to play the wrong shots. The club would be easier for him because he had to stoop far in his wedge grip. Shortening the club also changes the way the ball fires, rotates and reacts on the green. In stressful situations, you are not exactly what you want.

With everything online, though, Griffin offers a masterclass of mechanics and executions, cutting the balls to 4 feet, saving him Par.

This is what he did:

1. Find a position to build a swing

Above the ball on the knee-height foot, Griffin found a stable stance that balances and keeps the club. His position cuts the club in half, resting his hands entirely on the steel of the shaft. This brings the club’s balance point closer to his hand, which makes for a very difficult fine chip lens.

2. No hinges and back swing

This photo does not require hand. It was just a smooth and steady turn that brought the club back while maintaining his firm stance at the address. Staying stable on the back swing is essential for the fluid forward swing.

3. Change direction by turning to the target

After the impact, Griffin maintained his position, his posture and height. This allows him to control the club and prevent it from closing or opening.

4. Release to the target

Griffin, while still not allowing face closure, completed the motion by completing the target. His head and chest continued to turn, the club’s face stayed square. Textbook stuff.
