Corey Pavin scorched around the Brown Deer Park Golf Course during his opening round as his putter ran red-hot in the opening nine holes.
The 46 year old Pavin took just 26 shots in the first nine holes to set a new PGA Tour record for nine holes in the opening round of the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee where he posted a 9 under par round of 61.
The 1995 U.S Masters champion leads by three shots from Arjun Atwell at six under while Skip Kendell and Cameron Beckman are tied at 5 under the card alongside David Frost who still has one hole to play to complete his opening round.

Adam Scott is regarded as the most exciting young Australian golfer since Greg Norman. At the age of 23 years, eight months and 12 days, he became the youngest winner of The Players Championship on the US PGA Tour, an event considered by many to be the game's fifth Major.
Scott is a four-time winner on the US PGA Tour. His initial breakthrough came at the 2003 Deutsche Bank Championship after a second round 62 set up a four stroke win and saw Adam break into the top 20 in the World Rankings for the first time.
