Jackson Koivun, at just 21 years old, has won his first PGA Tour event. He held off Scottie Scheffler, the world No.1 golfer, to win the 3M Open on TPC Twin Cities in Minnesota on Sunday.
Koivun’s Road to Victory
Koivun shot 5-under in his final round to shoot 25-under and win the tournament. Scheffler’s 8-under final round wasn’t enough as he finished three strokes behind.
Koivun propelled himself into prime position to win the tournament when he posted a 10-under 61 on Saturday in Round 3 to move to 20-under for the tournament. It was a tournament record during the round, too, as his 28 on the back-nine was the best score ever posted in those holes.
Koivun would post two birdies on the back-nine, and finish with a bogey-free final round to put the icing on his breakout tournament of his very early PGA Tour career.
