Golf Update: Corey Pavin’s wife, Lisa Pavin-the 'captain-ess' goes Ryder crazy, posing for Avid Golfer Magazine
Ryder Cup fever has not only engulfed captains and players but their families as well. Recently, American team captain Corey Pavin’s wife posed for a popular golf magazine. Lisa Pavin, who is also known and also thinks of herself as the ‘captain-ess’, was
draped in just an American flag and a cross around her neck. Looking provocative and patriotic at the same time, Mrs. Pavin’s enthusiasm really shows how much she supports her husband and the American Team. Even though she doesn’t play golf, the captain-ess
made it on the cover of Avid Golfer magazine. Poor Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson would be thinking why they didn’t ever think of wearing a flag and posing.
"It's taken on a life of its own but I really don't deserve this much attention," Lisa Pavin said.
"I laugh because I think, ‘Wow, I haven't done anything to have so many people talking about me," she added.
Previously, Lisa who is also termed as the Captain’s better half was not a very extrovert person. Not much was known about her, but the Ryder Cup fever has made Lisa reveal a side of her that was never known to the public. Captain Pavin supported his wife
saying that even though a lot has been said about the picture, he thinks it was an amazing idea. Obviously Pavin thinks she looks beautiful, it’s interesting he doesn’t mind the whole world seeing her like that. Pavin says that she is a beautiful woman and
he is lucky to have her. Well, looking at the patriotism instilled in your wife Captain, America is lucky to have her as well.
Lisa is of a Vietnamese decent; she grew up in Iowa and was Pavin’s personal assistant prior to their marriage. She is very confident and determined about her business approach towards Ryder Cup. Mrs. Pavin wants to develop and promote the Ryder Cup name.
She doesn’t only want to be known as a sportsman wife. She wants to go out and mark her name. You really made some impression with that picture Lisa.
Lisa has worked the most to promote the Ryder Cup campaign than any other captain wife. People are even saying that she can be the next ‘Yoko Ono’ for Ryder Cup 2010.
Let’s face it, she is pretty attractive. She won’t have to do much to get the media’s attention. All Mrs. Pavin has to do is be there at a tournament or a championship and flash her million dollar smile.
Along with being supportive, Lisa tends to be very persuasive as well. Rumours are that now that she considers herself the captain-ess and is really involved in the Cup, what if she starts interfering in the game as well. Lisa is not a golfer and she has
never been one. She clearly doesn’t understand the technicalities of the game. Unfortunately, since he is a very obedient husband, Captain Pavin might even listen to his very inexperienced wife’s suggestions. Her interference could mean disaster for the American
team who is trying to keep the trophy with them.
As mentioned before, Lisa is the most active golf wife yet. The fact that Lisa doesn’t shy away from the limelight or her opinions could land hubby Corey in trouble. Any controversial statement made by happy Lisa could lead to negative sentiments against
the captain.
It is also a possibility that Lisa will be envied by wives of other golfers. With the media and press going crazy for her, insecurities might rise in them leading to more divorces. Please Lisa, one Tiger Woods is enough. That brings us to Woods being on
the hunt once again, who knows if he won’t try to get friendly with the Captains wife? Looking at his profile, it is a possibility. Moreover, if he thinks that this won’t affect the team, he should really think twice.
It is really unclear whether Lisa just wants the attention or is really just going Ryder crazy. No matter what her intentions, she does have a lot of potential to create drama. We just hope everything stays calm before and during the Ryder Cup!
