It was Pavin’s 15th PGA victory — and he did it in grand style. On the very first round of the US Bank Championship, Pavin broke the PGA record for the fewest number of strokes need to complete nine holes at a PGA Tour event., with an eight-under score of 26 (July 7, 2006). The previous record was 27 strokes and was held jointly by Mike Souchak, Andy North, Billy Mayfair and Robert Gamez.
