Golfer Ben Griffin had considerable troubles during the final round at the BMW Championship, carding a 6-over in his first three holes of the day.
Griffin triple bogeyed the first hole at the FedExCup Playoff tournament at Caves Valley Golf Club outside of Baltimore, and after his round, he gave a strange reason for his bad start.
Griffin says he had a snowball-sized clump of creatine on the golf course, after which he started to shake and said he felt like he had tremors.
"I take creatine as a supplement, and this morning I didn't take it until I basically teed off on one. I was at the end of my batch, and I had this like, basically a snowball of creatine. So it had been in my bucket for a month, and broke it up and put it in my water bottle. Whatever, I'm all good. I've taken it on the golf course before. It's fine," Griffin said.
Ben Griffin was 6-over after 3 holes Sunday at the BMW. Why? He said he mistakenly overdosed on creatine. Let him explain... oh, and @bengriffingolf played the last 15 holes in 7-under by the way. pic.twitter.com/adoQsRTJOB

"I started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally swallowed one of the big rocks that was in my water bottle. I've never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment because I didn't really drink any water after that. I basically just inhaled like a snowball."

Griffin finished tied for 12th with a 3-under par for the tournament, which was won by the world's No. 1 player, Scottie Scheffler.
Griffin's score was good enough to be one of the top 30 players at the season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
