By making crucial par putts earand then playing it safe when he ly knew a bogey wouldn't hurt him, the former U.S. amateur champion beat a select field at Southern Hills, one of the country's toughest courses. 73 He won with a final-roun- d even-par for an 280 total Sunday and picked up $540,000, the biggest payoff of the year in a tournament that players call an reward. It turned out to be a survival. "He is a true champion and went out there and made a whole bunch of pars ... and never let anybody get to him," said U.S. Open champion Corey Pavin, who tied for second with PGA champion Steve Elkington, three strokes behind Mayfair. The win Mayfair gave $1,542,192 for the season, second only to Greg Norman on the money list. It also w as the third win of his career; he won the Western Open in July and the Greater Milwaukee Open two years ago. "I've been out here seven years, and it's about my time, I think," Mayfair said. "I feel that my career is right on schedule. I've let a couple tournaments get away from me that maybe I should have won, but I've also won a couple." One he let get away was the World Series of Golf in August, lead in when he blew a three-shthe final round and lost in a playoff to Norman. The lesson he learned from that loss not to play so aggressively - - vVs a perfect fit for a Southern Hills course that yielded just one round below par on Sunday and only 14 for the tournament. He kept par in range by keeping the ball below the hole most of the two of his four bogeys were day a result of leaving himself a downhill chip or putt. Most importantly, he hung on long enough so that w hen Southern Hills finally got the best of him. it was too late to matter. "Because of how hard the wind ot was blowing, how hard the golt course was. I felt that I could shoot over par and maybe win," he said. "But when you've got the best players in the world out here, you never know." Pavin and Elkington were forced to play catchup on a course that wouldn't let them. Pavin bogeyed the on the par-3- s a bad break to the 12th green front side and got when his hit the back side of the bunker and skidded through the green, his third and last bogey in a round w ith no birdies. "If you can get out there and make a couple of birdies early, you can put some pressure on Billy and make him look over his shoulder a little bit." Pavin said. "But nobody really did that."
