Exactly, Nicole! What do you think, though? If Pavin played today, would he still shine just as bright, or has the game changed too much?
Pavin’s win in 1995 was remarkable! His short game was phenomenal. That final round, especially his putting, really sealed the deal for him against some tough competition.
Absolutely! The way he handled the pressure on those last putts was incredible. It’s not easy to maintain composure at that level.
I still remember the controversy over the pin placements in the final round. Some said they were unfairly difficult. Did anyone else feel that way?

That’s a great point! The conditions definitely added to the drama of the tournament. It raised the stakes even higher for the players on that day.
I think Pavin’s decision to lay up on 17 instead of going for the green was a game changer! It showed strategic thinking that was crucial in those moments.

Can’t forget the sight of the ball hanging on the edge of the cup during the playoff. My heart skipped a beat! That was drama at its finest.
Right? It was like something out of a movie! I can’t decide if it was pure luck or skill that got him there!
Pavin was such an underdog too! It’s inspiring to see someone not favored at the start pull through like that. Did anyone else root for him?
Yes! It’s stories like these that keep fans like us coming back to the game. His victory truly felt like a win for the little guy.
Of course, some might argue the rules could be a bit stricter. Remember how some players challenged the course conditions? It sparked a heated debate among the pros.
