Former UNC Golfer Ben Griffin’s Comeback Reaches PGA Tour

Posted Aug 25, 2022
Just a couple years after working as a loan officer, Ben Griffin will be competing on the PGA Tour against the best golfers in the world. At just 26 years old, it’s easy to see why Cowan believes the sky’s the limit for his son. Ben, meanwhile, is understandably busier now than he was at CIMG. The former UNC All-American intends to stay in for good this time. (Chapelboro.com)
