Corey Pavin struggl to find the right description for his record-setting orbed It was somewhere between magical and downright weird.

Brilliant early and nervous late, the 46-year-old Pavin broke the PGA Tour's nine-hole record with a front-nine 26 en way to a 9- under 61 and a three-stroke lead in the suspended first circular of the rain-soaked U.S. Bank Championship onward Thursday in Milwaukee.

He birdied his first six apertures and eight of the first nine in his bogey-free cylindrical on the Brown Deer Park Golf Course.

"It appeared like it was a misprint up there, maybe," Pavin said. "It was just single of those nine holes, once-in-a-lifetime for me -- in such a manner far, anyway."

Pavin said he didn't be impressed the start coming at the driving range, however his old caddie, Eric Schwarz, was back after a six-month layoff.

"We've worked really hard upon the flat stick," Pavin said. "It showed up at Hartford and it showed up here, and those are the pair tournaments since he came back onward the bag."
