A lot was expected of Jackson Koivun when he announced last month that he would be turning pro and joining the PGA Tour. The 21-year-old dominated at the collegiate level where he led Auburn to two national titles, won an astounding 11 individual events and took home every award a player could win.
Well, it turns out it Koivun didn’t need much time to show everyone that those expectations were warranted because on Sunday, in just his third start as a pro, he won his first PGA Tour event. He did it in style, too—beating Scottie Scheffler, who finished in second, by three shots. Hideki Matsuyama and Brian Harman, two veteran players who have won major championships, were a part of a group that finished five shots back in a tie for third.
