Article content Article content 'So I wouldn't say I was in awe, but it's fun to be on their terrain and their territory and doing things and watching them do what they're really good at.' Article content What Pavin did in Happy Gilmore 2 was join golf brethren during a scene at the Tour Championship banquet, which featured cameos from dozens of PGA Tour stars — past and present — including Jack Nicklaus and Fred Couples.
