My Take
What I love about Corey Pavin is that he won with craft, not power. Standing just 175 cm, he never overwhelmed courses; he outthought them with shotmaking and grit. His path is endearingly roundabout too, failing at Q-School, then proving himself overseas with wins in South Africa and Germany before returning to conquer the PGA Tour, capped by a 1996 ESPY as best male golfer. A UCLA-schooled Californian, he attacked greens with intelligence rather than brute force. I have a real soft spot for cerebral golfers like him; the underdog who wins by outsmarting everyone is my kind of champion.
