Griffin was consistent all week but started the day two shots back of South Africa’s Garrick Higgo. Griffin rolled in five birdies in a row at Nos. 8-12 to overtake Higgo and Carson Young for the lead at 27 under par.

He added two birdies coming home and finished with 10 birdies and a single bogey on his card in order to reach 29-under-par 259 at El Cardonal Golf Course.

That was enough for a two-shot win over Sami Valimaki of Finland (64 Sunday) and Chad Ramey (65). Higgo shot a 68 and faded to a T4 finish alongside Trevor Cone (66).
