PGA Tour professional Ben Griffin won the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, largely thanks to his exceptional performance around the green and his excellent putting skills. Following his one-shot victory at Colonial, Griffin got highly emotional.Griffin gained 2.418 strokes around the green and 6.485 putter in hand. Naturally, such a remarkable performance was the subject of questions during the winner's press conference, as reporters wanted insights of Griffin's game.What was mostly intended to be a technical analysis from the 29-year-old player turned into a moment of remembrance of very difficult times."My parents did so much for me growing up," Griffin said, soaking up his tears. "They got hit hard by the recession, the 2008 recession, and so they invested a lot in me being able to practice and compete.""I didn't spend very much money on range balls. I was at a public golf course and I would chip and putt all day. I'd hit maybe a half bucket of balls for $5 or whatever it was.""My parents, you know, we did they always consider themselves middle to upper class, but I knew there for a little bit, when we lost our house, when we lost everything, I know they they sacrificed a lot for me, and I credit a lot of my success down the stretch today to my short game.""It kept me in it, and that's what I did as a kid. That's what helped my short game be so good down the stretch today."Griffin won the Charles Schwab Challenge with a score of 12 under par, finishing one stroke ahead of Matti Schmid. He shot 66, 63, 68, and 71 to take the title.The Chapel Hill, North Carolina native is having the best run of his career. He won his first PGA Tour title a month ago at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, teaming up with Andrew Novak. Just a week ago, he finished tied for eighth at the PGA Championship, his best finish in a major championship.Griffin has played in 18 of the 20 PGA Tour tournaments this season (excluding opposite events). His two wins have earned him four top-10 finishes, and he has missed four cuts.These results are even more impressive when you consider that Griffin abandoned his professional golf career in 2021 and even took a job as a mortgage loan officer. In order to return to the PGA Tour, he had to earn his way through the Korn Ferry Tour and only reached the top level two seasons ago.More Golf: LPGA Tour Rookie Crushes the Field at Riviera Maya Open
