Ben Griffin moved into position for his first PGA Tour victory with another bogey-free round Saturday for a 6-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead in the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Griffin got up-and-down for par on his final three holes, the last one from a bunker to the right of the 18th green. He made the six-footer to keep his distance over Carl Yuan, who had a 67.
“I got myself out of position on a few holes, maybe made the wrong decision,” Griffin said with a smile. “But I feel like one of the strengths of my game is scrambling. And I had to do that on a few holes. Otherwise, I pretty much hit my targets all day.” Those right behind Yuan know the feeling. Scott Stallings , Henrik Norlander and Luke List were tied for third, four shots behind.
“I was going to play a completely different shot until I saw how fast his ball was once it got past the hole,” Stallings said. “I was literally trying to check-spin it just over the edge, and obviously it got super lucky going in. But I was happy with how I executed it.”Ludvig Aberg of Sweden, coming off his Ryder Cup debut in Italy, finally came to life late in his round. He made five birdies over the last eight holes for a 66, closing the gap to six shots.
