Stalls in ground effect....

I briefly read through an article on the Gulfstream G650 Roswell crash in a magazine. I'm pretty sure it said that an airfoil in ground effect will stall at a lower angle of attack than the same airfoil out of ground effect.

Can anyone verify this?

Is there a somewhat technical explanation that makes this understandable?

I thought I understood Aerodynamics 101.....maybe I didn't
