Koivun has long been viewed as a potential star on the PGA Tour. He turned pro earlier this year following a dominant collegiate career with Auburn that included SEC Player of the Year honors in 2024, 2025 and 2026. He also won the Ben Hogan Award and the Jack Nicklaus Award twice.
Koivun participated in the US Open earlier this year as an amateur. He finished tied for 23rd place and shared low-am honors with Oklahoma golfer Ryder Cowan.
Koivun will tee off in the final group on Sunday at the 3M Open. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is among the golfers who will be chasing Koivun in the final round. Scheffler is currently tied for 9th place and is 6 strokes off of Koivun’s pace entering Sunday.
