“Golf Star Matthieu Pavon Shares Rare Family Photo with Wife Melissa and Son”

French golf star Matthieu Pavon is making waves at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. During the third round, Pavon surged into first place, surpassing American golfer Bryson DeChambeau.

Supporting Pavon at this major tournament is his wife, Melissa Tarris. Although Tarris keeps her Instagram profile private, Pavon recently shared a rare glimpse into their personal life with a photo of their son, Aaron.

Pavon also posted a special moment from The Masters, featuring his parents, Beatrice and Michel Pavon. The 31-year-old captioned the photo, “Thrilled to share this family moment for the first time at @themasters during the iconic Par 3 Contest 🥰⛳️.”

A rookie on the PGA Tour, Pavon earned his card after finishing 15th at the DP World Tour Championship in 2023. He went on to win the Farmers Insurance Open in January, a moment of great pride for Tarris, who shared her excitement watching her husband win at Torrey Pines.

Tarris expressed her pride in Pavon to Golf Planete in January, stating, “The only regret is not having been there for the two victories.” Pavon secured his first European Tour victory at the Acciona Open de España in October.

“When I spoke to him yesterday, I told him how thrilled I was to go to Augusta for the Masters and that I would be wearing the white overalls and caddy cap for the par 3 competition,” she said.

“Some people don’t understand that anything can happen until the last hole, and that’s what happened. Tears came to me from the putt on 16, I was shaking all over. When he won in Madrid a few months ago, I told him he was making history in his sport and needed to believe in himself.”
