Scottie Scheffler delivers telling verdict on new Ryder Cup co-star he’s just beaten
Scottie Scheffler won the Procore Championship, beating Ben Griffin by one shot, and the world No. 1 was full of praise for his new Ryder Cup teammate.
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, has shared his thoughts on his new Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin. This comes after their intense competition at the Procore Championship, which served as a warm-up for the upcoming Ryder Cup.
Although he saw his impressive streak come to an end, Scheffler narrowly defeated Griffin in the tournament, marking his third participation in the prestigious event. On the other hand, this will be Griffin’s debut in the Ryder Cup team. Following his victory, Scheffler took the opportunity to praise Griffin’s skills and potential contribution to the Ryder Cup.
In a post-match interview, Scheffler spoke highly of Griffin as they gear up for the showdown at Bethpage Black later this month. “I think Ben always had the belief that he was going to be out here,” he said, according to the Bellingham Herald. “I don’t know if he was an accountant or [loan mortgage officer] for that long.” Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy issued a telling Ryder Cup message as Team Europe headed to New York for the tournament.
Scheffler also commended Griffin’s self-assuredness, which he believes will be a valuable asset against Team Europe. “When you talk to Ben, he’s a guy that has a lot of confidence, he’s got a lot of self belief. That’s what we love about him being a part of our Ryder Cup team,” he added.
“I grew up with Ben. He always had the talent to make it out here. He’s been a tremendous putter for his entire – as long as I’ve known him, and his ball-striking has really come around, and he’s also picked up some speed. Ben’s a guy that has always put in I think a ton of work and he’s always looking to improve.
“He’s never lacked confidence and he’s going to be a great part of our Ryder Cup team this year, and I’m sure he’ll be a part of many teams going forward as well.”
Speaking about his bond with Griffin, Scheffler revealed that the 29 year old was someone he’d been battling against for years, which has helped forge a strong friendship between them.
“We used to play practice rounds together in junior and amateur golf. He’s been a buddy of mine for a long time,” he added.
“I have some of my best friends in the whole world out here on Tour, and I feel like I know a lot of the guys out here really well. So it would be very rare to have a guy coming into the team room that we didn’t know very well just because we see each other week in, week out out here.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
