Griffin ‘overdosed’ on creatine during BMW Championship

Ben Griffin, an American golfer, claims he “overdosed” on creatine just before the BMW Championship’s final round.

Griffin, a Ryder Cup contender, claims he unintentionally ingested a “large rock” of the supplement in his water bottle.

The 29-year-old described feeling “very shakey” and “having tremors.”

He threw the first hole’s par-four, then he hit his tee shot out of bounds on the second hole.

The first three holes saw the world number 17 shoot a one-under par 69, including seven birdies, and the course was tied for 12th on three under par.

He continued, “I don’t think I’ll be taking too much creatine in the future,” adding that it was “probably not a healthy amount” in the event that he unintentionally took it.

Griffin, who placed in the top 10 at the US Open and PGA Championship this year, said he typically consumes 15 mg of creatine every day.

Creatine promotes strength development, improves recovery, and increases performance.

It was previously taken on a golf course. Griffin responded, “It’s fine.”

After my second shot, I unintentionally ingested one of the large rocks in my water bottle.

He continued, “Thankfully, my caddie stepped in and made me chug a whole bottle of water while trying to calm me down a little bit.” I succeeded in getting the other one in play.

“I went about my day,” I said. But that’s a pretty crazy story, right?
