Griffin tied for 24th at last year's Sanderson Farms.
Griffin, using a bogey-free 6-under 66 on Saturday, leads the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship at The Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi by three shots at 20 under. Carl Yuan is alone in second at 17 under after a 5-under 67 on Day 3.
The 27-year-old Griffin made a trio of birdies on both nines during his third round and made several clutch saves along the way. He was feeling it with the flat stick, confidently walking in putts as his lead continued to grow.“Very proud of myself the way I stuck to the game plan,” Griffin said after signing his card, “and I missed a few tee shots on the back nine but was able to escape, and that’s always been one of the strengths of my career.
“As much as I want to be aggressive, I’ve learned on the PGA Tour you’ve got to be extremely disciplined. It’s fun when I mis-hit shots because it gives me the opportunity to pull off something creative, but it’s a lot more fun when you have stress-free golf, and I felt like I did a good job of that for probably 14, 15 holes today.
