It seems like a movie script, like it's not real,” Novak said. “But it's just perfect how it all came together.” The Zurich Classic is a 72-hole stroke play format featuring four-ball (best ball) during the first and third rounds and foursomes (alternate shot) during the second and fourth rounds.

The clubs Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak used to win the 2025 Zurich Classic Driver: Ping G430 Max 10K ( UST Mamiya Linq White PC TX ), 9 degrees Irons (3): Mizuno JPX923 Tour; (4-PW): Mizuno Pro S3 Wedges: Mizuno Pro T-1 (52, 56 degrees); TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 (60 degrees)

The win was just as gratifying for Griffin, a 28-year-old Chapel Hill, N.C., who entered the Zurich with 12 top-10 placings, including runner-up finishes at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open and the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship.
