Chansky’s Notebook: Chapel Ben
Posted Apr 28, 2025
Chapel Hill’s Ben Griffin has won his first PGA Tour championship. The former East Chapel Hill High and All-ACC golfer for the Tar Heels teamed with old friend Andrew Novak to win the PGA’s only team event in the New Orleans Zurich Classic that supports survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Griffin’s 35-foot birdie putt on the next to last hole sealed it.
