21-year-old Jackson Koivun fends off Scottie Scheffler to earn first career PGA Tour win at 3M Open

Key Points:

• Jackson Koivun, a 21-year-old rookie just 24 days into his professional career, won the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities, setting a new tournament scoring record at 25-under par with a bogey-free final round of 66.
• Koivun's victory, in only his third PGA Tour start as a pro, earned him $1.584 million and came after a historic Saturday round where he shot 10-under 61, including a record 28 on the back nine.
• Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler mounted a late charge on Sunday but finished three shots behind Koivun, marking his fifth runner-up finish this season and highlighting an improvement in his putting game after recent struggles.
• Koivun, formerly the world’s top-ranked amateur, transitioned smoothly to the professional ranks after turning pro post-U.S. Open, demonstrating consistency and composure throughout the tournament.
• While Scheffler leads the FedExCup standings and seeks more wins in 2026, Koivun’s early success signals a promising start to his PGA Tour career, fueled by his passion and dedication to the game.
