'''Corey Allen Pavin''' (born November 16, 1959) is an American [[professional golfer]]. In 1982, Pavin turned professional but failed at [[1982 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates|PGA Tour Qualifying School]]. The following year, he turned to overseas where he had much success, winning South Africa's [[Lexington PGA Championship|Lexington PGA]] and Europe's [[German Open (golf)|German Open]]. Later in the year he earned [[PGA Tour]] membership and had much success on tour, winning a number of events, culminating with the [[1995 U.S. Open (golf)|1995 U.S. Open]] championship. Soon thereafter, he abruptly lost his game and was rarely a contender. As a senior, Pavin has played on the [[PGA Tour Champions]], recording one win, at the [[Allianz Championship]].

==Early life ==
Pavin was born in [[Oxnard, California]], the son of Barbara and Jack Pavin.<ref>{{cite news |date=August 15, 1997 |title=Obituaries – Kack Pavin; Father of Pro Golfer Corey Pavin |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-aug-15-me-22744-story.html |access-date=February 14, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Buttitta |first=Bob |title=Healthy Corey Pavin hoping to turn in big performance in 'home' event |url=https://www.vcstar.com/story/sports/2017/10/26/healthy-corey-pavin-hoping-turn-big-performance-home-event/803689001/ |access-date=2025-04-09 |newspaper=Ventura County Star}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-09-07 |title=Ryder Cup captain Pavin makes right pick in Fowler |url=https://www.dailynews.com/2010/09/07/painter-ryder-cup-captain-pavin-makes-right-pick-in-fowler/?noamp=mobile |access-date=2025-04-09 |newspaper=Daily News |first=Jill |last=Painter}}</ref> He attended [[Oxnard High School]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scga.org/news/view/corey-pavin-craig-stadler-welcomed-into-scga-hall-of-fame SCGA.org |title=Corey Pavin, Craig Stadler welcomed into SCGA Hall of Fame |publisher=SCGA |date=November 13, 2014}}</ref>

==Professional career==
In 1982, Pavin turned professional. He was "an unexpected failure" at [[1982 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates|1982 PGA Tour Qualifying School]].<ref name=":0" /> He did not move past the regional qualifying section.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |date=24 January 1983 |title=Pavin pips Price with final 66 |page=22 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |location=London, United Kingdom |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/750920476/ |url-access=subscription |access-date=2023-09-21 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> He turned to play overseas in 1983. Early in the year, he played on the [[Southern African Tour]] where he "won his first professional tournament" at the [[Lexington PGA Championship|Lexington PGA]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Ventura County Star 27 Jan 1983, page 24 |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/933087062/ |access-date=2023-09-22 |website=Newspapers.com |language=en}}</ref> It was only his fourth tournament as a professional golfer.<ref name=":1" /> He soon moved onto the [[PGA European Tour|European Tour]]. In July, he finished solo 3rd, only behind [[Sam Torrance]] and [[Craig Stadler]], at the [[Scandinavian Enterprise Open]]. A month later, Pavin won the [[German Open (golf)|German Open]] three strokes ahead of joint runner-up [[Seve Ballesteros]]. He finished 13th on the Order of Merit.

Pavin's first [[PGA Tour]] victory came at the 1984 [[Houston Coca-Cola Open]]. He won at least one event significant domestic or international event over the next decade and topped the PGA Tour's money list in 1991. Pavin's success culminated in his only [[Men's major golf championships|major]] victory, the [[1995 U.S. Open (golf)|1995 U.S. Open]] at [[Shinnecock Hills Golf Club]]. Pavin went into the final round three strokes behind [[Greg Norman]] and [[Tom Lehman]]. On the 72nd and final hole of the tournament, a 450 yards long par 4, Pavin produced a four wood, considered one of the great shots in U.S. Open history, 228 yards to five feet of the hole to secure the title.

Rather than marking a move to a new level of achievement, however, this was soon followed by a long slide down the [[Official World Golf Ranking|world rankings]] from a high ranking of 2nd.<ref name="owgr96">{{cite web |title=Corey Pavin |url=http://www.owgr.com/en/Ranking/PlayerProfile.aspx?playerID=159 |access-date=February 8, 2019 |publisher=Official World Golf Ranking |archive-date=June 14, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150614234432/http://www.owgr.com/en/Ranking/PlayerProfile.aspx?playerID=159 |url-status=dead }}</ref> After Pavin won the [[Bank of America Colonial]] in 1996, he did not win another PGA Tour tournament for ten years. His 89th-place finish on the 2004 money list was the first time he had made the top one hundred since 1998. Pavin finally won his 15th career title in 2006 at the [[U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee]], ending a streak of 242 consecutive tournaments without a win.

On July 27, 2006, during the first round of what would become his 15th tour title, Pavin broke the record for the fewest strokes needed to complete nine holes at a [[PGA Tour]] event, with an 8-under [[par (golf)|par]] score of 26. The previous record of 27 strokes was held by [[Mike Souchak]], [[Andy North]], [[Billy Mayfair]] and [[Robert Gamez]], with Mayfair and Gamez' scores being 9-under par.<ref>{{cite news |work=ESPN |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/news/story?id=2531386 |title=Pavin shoots 26 on first nine holes, sets PGA record |date=July 28, 2006 |agency=Associated Press |access-date=February 13, 2012}}</ref> His 36-hole total of 125 also tied the record for fewest shots taken in the first 36 holes of a PGA Tour event held by [[Tom Lehman]], [[Mark Calcavecchia]], and [[Tiger Woods]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=PGA Tour |url=http://www.pgatour.com/story/9578756/ |title=Pavin ends 10-year drought with Milwaukee title |date=July 30, 2006 |access-date=February 13, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060805110613/http://www.pgatour.com/story/9578756 |archive-date=August 5, 2006}}</ref>

After acting as an assistant to U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman in [[2006 Ryder Cup|2006]], Pavin was in December 2008 by the [[PGA of America]], named captain for the U.S. team at the [[2010 Ryder Cup]] at the [[Celtic Manor Resort]] in [[Newport, Wales]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pga.com/2008/news/pga/12/11/pavin_rydercup/index.html |title=Pavin selected as 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup Team captain |publisher=PGA of America |access-date=January 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217055100/http://www.pga.com/2008/news/pga/12/11/pavin_rydercup/index.html |archive-date=December 17, 2008}}</ref> In October 2010, the U.S. Ryder Cup team lost 13½ to 14½, against the European side.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/oct/04/ryder-cup-europe-colin-montgomerie |title=Ryder Cup regained by Europe in muddy marathon |date=October 4, 2010 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=October 4, 2010}}</ref>

Pavin began playing on the [[Champions Tour]] in 2010. In June 2010, he lost in a sudden death playoff to [[Bubba Watson]] at the [[Travelers Championship]] on the [[PGA Tour]]. In his 35th start, Pavin won his maiden [[Champions Tour]] event in February 2012 at the [[Allianz Championship]]. He defeated [[Peter Senior]] at the first sudden death playoff hole with a birdie to take the title, after having finished regulation play at 11 under.[[Image:Corey_Pavin_20180927.jpg|thumb|Corey Pavin at the Past Captains Match 27 September 2018 ahead of the [[2018 Ryder Cup]] match at [[Le Golf National]] outside Paris, France]]

Pavin is a Republican. During the [[1993 Ryder Cup]], Pavin was originally unwilling to meet with president [[Bill Clinton]] before the cup owing to their differing political views. Pavin stated that he had voted for Bush, and so was not particularly excited at the prospect of meeting Clinton.<ref>{{cite news |last=Guest |first=Larry |date=June 19, 1993 |title=Golfers Don't Go Gaga Over White House Trip |newspaper=Orlando Sentinel |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1993/06/19/golfers-dont-go-gaga-over-white-house-trip/}}</ref>

Pavin made a cameo appearance playing himself in the 1996 movie ''[[Tin Cup]]'' starring [[Kevin Costner]]. In the movie, Pavin tells [[Fred Couples]], "It's hard to believe that a guy named 'Tin Cup' might have his name beneath mine on the trophy."

==Awards and honors==
In 2002, he was named to the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame |url=http://www.vcshf.com/hall_of_fame_members.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120055452/http://www.vcshf.com/hall_of_fame_members.htm |archive-date=November 20, 2008 |access-date=January 17, 2011 |publisher=Vcshf.com}}</ref>

He has a stone named after him at Bedlingtonshire Golf Club, in Northumberland, England. It is located on the 7th hole and is called "Corey Paving Slab".
