  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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

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.

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.
