Jackson Koivun Wins 3M Open in His Third Pro Start

Koivun’s tournament‑record 25‑under finish delivered a $1.584 million winner’s payout and a major FedEx Cup jump for the 21‑year‑old

Overview

  • Koivun closed with a 5‑under 66 to finish at a tournament‑record 25‑under 259 and beat world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by three strokes on Sunday.
  • The 21‑year‑old Auburn graduate turned professional this summer and claimed his first PGA Tour title in only his third start as a pro.
  • Koivun built his lead with a bogey‑free third round 61 that included a tournament‑record back‑nine 28 and finished the final 42 holes without a bogey.
  • Scheffler surged late with a low round (reported as a 63) but settled for second, while Michael Kim’s 12‑under 59 in the second round remained one of the week’s signature feats.
  • The win paid $1,584,000 and vaulted Koivun up the FedEx Cup standings into 70th with two regular‑season events left, underscoring the immediate financial and playoff impact a Tour victory brings and the growing strength of the college‑to‑pro pathway.
