The next two years were rough—at one point his 50-round moving average reached -6.5 strokes-gained per round. Pavan's play improved in 2022 but he still lost his status on the DPWT for 2023. After stringing together a few solid results on the Challenge Tour (Europe's minor tour), Pavan won last week at the D+D Real Czech Challenge. If Pavan manages to regain his old form, it would be the biggest career turnaround since Brendon Todd came back from the dead in 2019.
