Matthieu Pavon (born 2 November 1992) is a French professional golfer who plays on the European Tour.
Professional career
After turning professional Pavon played on the Alps Tour in 2014 and 2015. He won the Open International de Rebetz in 2014 and the Servizitalia Open in 2015.[1] He reached the final stage of the 2015 European Tour Q School and gained a place on the Challenge Tour for 2016.
Pavon didn't win on the 2016 Challenge Tour but he finished in second place three times: at the Turkish Airlines Challenge, Montecchia Golf Open and Foshan Open.[2][3][4] He was joint third in the NBO Golf Classic Grand Final and finished sixth on the Road To Oman Rankings to earn his 2017 European Tour card.
Pavon's first season on the European Tour was moderately successful and he finished 49th in the Order of Merit. His best result was to finish third in the 2017 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open after a final round 66. The tournament was one of the Open Qualifying Series events and his high finish gave him an entry to the 2017 Open Championship the following week. He had rounds of 74 and 78 and missed the cut.
In 2018, Pavon qualified for his first U.S. Open. He started with a 71 and made the cut, despite a second round 77, finishing in a tie for 25th place.
