Jackson Koivun has spent the weekend doing what quiet, methodical golfers rarely manage: dominating headlines. The 21-year-old American carried a commanding lead into the final round of the 3M Open in Minnesota, topping the leaderboard in only his third start as a professional.
For a golfer who left the amateur ranks just weeks ago, that form has turned casual viewers into fans overnight. His name may be new to some watching this week, but inside golf circles, Koivun has been the sport's worst-kept secret for years, arriving on tour with a résumé that already includes a world number one amateur ranking.
