Quotes
"I don’t think I’ve ever been this far ahead coming into Sunday," Griffin said during an interview with ESPN. He shot a final-round 68 that included three birdies and five pars on holes No. 1-15 before making a double bogey on No. 16 and parring out from there. "It was definitely different."
