With an impressive showing at the 2009 King Invitational, Randy Griffin lived up to his nickname. "Big Money Biscuit" Griffin took top honors, winning $150.00 last year to leave the King Invitational as the money leader for the third time in his five appearances at the event.
Griffin was able to make his way to the top of the list by winning $84.00 by bagging two greenies and two skins during a Match Play loss to Ted Prestwood. Coupled with his $16.00 skin on the first day, Griffin entered the final day with $100.00 in winnings.
On Sunday he teamed up with The Hunt Club captain, Wayne Hunt to destroy the team of Kim Highfill and Jay Whitt and stake their squad to an early lead on the third and final day of the King Invitational Cup. Although neither squad was able to capture the outright title, Griffin's play on Sunday stood out for his team captain:
"Randy proved on Sunday last year what a resilient player he really is. He lost to Ted in Match Play - again. Yet, he played well enough to grab nearly $100 that day in winnings and I knew on the first tee on Sunday that he wouldn't allow us to lose," Hunt said.
"It's that type of quiet, unassuming leadership that he brings to this squad, making him so important to our team. Re-signing Randy was one of my biggest off-season goals. For a time, it looked as if he was contemplating retirement but I have spent countless hours over the last year talking to him about coming back. I was a little disappointed I couldn't get him to agree to a long-term deal but I'm happy he's back for at least one more year."
