	Corey Pavin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pavin attended UCLA and turned professional in 1982.
		Pavin's success culminated in his only major victory, the 1995 U.S. Open.
		Pavin only won one further PGA Tour event, which took his career total to fourteen, plus two or three further events outside the U.S. His 89th place finish on the 2004 money list was the first time he had featured in the top hundred since 1998.

	Sports: Pavin distinctly different in his Shinnecock return
		Corey Pavin looks nothing like the golfer who made history here nine years ago, and that is by choice.
		Pavin is 44, sporting a buzz cut that makes him look even leaner than the day in 1995 when he hit the famous approach shot to the 18th green at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to wrap up the U.S. Open title.
		Pavin was at the top of his game, but he didn't stay there long.

		COREY PAVIN: I hit a bad putt, that was what was going through my mind, after I hit it.
		COREY PAVIN: No, I think anytime you come back to a golf course, anytime I come back to a course I've done well on, I have a good feeling about that tournament or that golf course.
		COREY PAVIN: I got up at 5:00 this morning, which is about as late as I possibly could have.

		Pavin still managed to hit a lob chip wedge to 10 feet, then made one more big-time pressure putt to save a remarkable par on a back nine of mostly remarkable recoveries.
		Pavin, he said, was the last man he wanted to face in a playoff.
		Pavin, who played a round of golf with President Clinton Friday at Army Navy in Arlington and shot 63 on Saturday, was clearly pumped up in the playoff.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- Indelible memories of Shinnecock
		Corey Pavin talks during a news conference at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club Monday, in Southampton, N.Y. Pavin won the U.S. Open in 1995, when it was also at Shinnecock.
		Pavin refuses to use that as an excuse, but two facts are telling: Pavin's average drive of 265 yards would rank 24th on the LPGA Tour; and despite all the equipment advances, he said he'd still require a 4-wood for the same shot at Shinnecock.
		Pavin did some on-course commentary for ABC during the Accenture Match Play Championship at La Costa in February, and he and the network were pleased with the results.

	Boston.com / Sports / Golf / Pavin fires opening 62
		Corey Pavin started strong and finished with a flourish for one of the best rounds of his career and a three-stroke lead at the inaugural Buick Championship yesterday in Cromwell, Conn.
		Pavin's round was one stroke off the tournament record held by three players -- two-time champ Phil Mickelson, Scott Verplank, and Kirk Triplett.
		Pavin took advantage of ideal scoring conditions in his morning round after heavy fog lifted and softened the greens at TPC at River Highlands.

	Corey Pavin persues a healthy course
		Pavin has a strong family connection to heart disease, one of the risk factors for stroke.
		Pavin was the classic grinder whose mastery with the wedge and putter was such that his game never left him for long, and never strayed too far when it did.
		After Pavin missed the cut in the Masters for the first time in his career, sports psychologist Dick Koop told him he could either wait for a good tournament to build confidence, or learn to play confidently.

	washingtonpost.com: Pavin Catches the Wind, Seizes the U.S. Open
		The day's defining shot for Pavin -- who until today wore the label of being the best American player never to win a major -- was a 4-wood from the 18th fairway that bounced 10 feet in front of the green, hopped onto the putting surface and came to rest five feet from the pin.
		Pavin was in the NBC-TV booth when Norman's second shot at 18 finally came down, and commentator Johnny Miller said the words Pavin has been yearning to hear for years: "Corey Pavin, U.S. Open champion."
		Pavin, who has missed the cut in the U.S. Open six times and hadn't finished the tournament better than tied for eighth, was not about to let this one slip away.

	Pavin finishes a season-low round with a flourish to lead the Buick Championship
		Corey Pavin fired a season-low round of 8-under 62 Thursday to build a three-shot lead in the Buick Championship.
		Pavin, who only has one top-10 finish this year, holed a 120-yard wedge shot for an eagle and then drained a 45-foot chip for a birdie.
		Pavin's round was one stroke off the tournament record of 61 held by three players -- two-time champ Phil Mickelson, Scott Verplank and Kirk Triplett.

	The Golf Channel - Pavin May At Last Be on the Rebound - July 27, 2004
		Corey Pavin, who a decade ago was winning a U.S. Open and starring in Ryder Cups, has been largely forgotten of late as the big bashers of the tour left him in the dust.
		Pavin doesn’t hit it a long way, see, and the men of the PGA Tour have taken quantum leaps in driving distance.
		Corey is 5-9, 155 pounds, and learned to play golf by hitting all the proper shots – except the long ball.

	Pavin hits skies to see his son graduate - Boston.com - Golf - Sports (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The 1995 U.S. Open champion was so determined to be at his son's high school graduation Thursday night that he rushed off the course after his first round at the U.S. Open and hopped on a private plane for California so he could be there.
		Then Pavin was scheduled to take a late flight back across the country to make his second-round tee time Friday afternoon.
		Still, it was the story of the Open, and shortly after Payne Stewart rolled in his famous 15-foot putt to defeat Mickelson, Stewart grabbed his opponent and told him what a thrill it would be to become a father.

	Pavin stuck in rough seven years after winning Open (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Pavin, who captured the 1995 Open at Shinnecock Hills with a forever 4-wood at the 72nd hole -- a 228-yard missile that landed like a dove and stopped five feet from the cup -- hasn't won a tournament in six years.
		Pavin is one of the shortest hitters on the Tour and, with so many courses being lengthened, he can't compete with the big boys.
		Pavin, down three strokes at the start of the final round, was clinging to a one-stroke lead over Greg Norman, who was on the 17th hole.

	Golf Digest: Catching up Corey Pavin returns to the scene of his U.S. Open victory a changed man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Saddled then with the unofficial title of best player in the world never to have won a major, Pavin struck the ball better every day, and his final round of 68, over a classic seaside layout baked hard by wind and sun, was a masterpiece of nerve and control.
		Pavin's key memories of the week include an unplayable lie he drove into on his first hole of the championship, and the 9-iron he holed from 132 yards for an eagle on the par-5 fifth that got him back to even par for the day.
		Pavin is terse on the subject, clearly sensitive to the effect on his sons, Ryan, 17, and Austin, 11, who live with their mother near San Diego.

		Corey Pavin's Shotmaking was written in 1996, after his miracle win in the 1995 US Open at Shinnecock.
		My sense is Corey (and his publisher) knew the correct marketing angle to take with this book and that was not as a power player or textbook swing example, it was shotmaker.
		Pavin shows you how to hit from all sorts of lies and suggests which shots are most appropriate for a variety of conditions.

		Pavin said he believes if a player hits nine or 10 greens per round they will be among the leaders.
		Prior to the tournament, Pavin made up his mind that he was going to stop and smell the roses.

		Corey Pavin hit one of the most impressive shots in U.S. Open history, a 228-yard 4-wood that landed gently in the rough and rolled within five feet of the 18th hole at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
		Pavin is playing this week on the 10-year Open extension that champions get.
		Pavin is encouraged enough to say he is not ready to do television announcing full-time, despite the fact he seemed like a natural when he did analysis on ESPN this year.

		Nobody gave Corey Pavin much of a chance to come close to repeating his winning performance the last time the U.S. Open was held at Shinnecock Hills in 1995.
		The doubters included Pavin, who appeared here at a news conference a month before the 2004 Open and said he was just hoping to pull his game together after a long stretch of poor results.
		Pavin actually reached 2 under with a birdie at No. 1, his 10th hole of the day, but he followed with a bogey at the par-3 second hole, where he had to chip over a sprinkler head rather than putt from the fringe.
