Highlights: Matthieu Pavon won the Players Championship at Torrey Pines. The 31-year-old from Bordeaux made his debut on the PGA Tour. Former French number one Grégory Havret is still in shock. Pavon's shot on 18 is a shot that the Tiger of his great years could have pulled off. Without his very good technique, his great physique and this always ambitious state of mind, it would have been impossible for him to achieve this shot at this given moment.
