On This Day in Golf History
April 29, 1984 - Corey Pavin won his first PGA Tour event title when he shot a final round (66) at the Houston Open to defeat runner-up Buddy Gardner by one stroke. Pavin would go on to win 15 PGA Tour titles, including his amazing performance at the 1995 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton (Long Island, NY).
