The 3M Open delivered another thrilling finish on the PGA Tour, with rising American star Jackson Koivun producing a remarkable performance to secure the biggest victory of his professional career. After four days of intense competition at TPC Twin Cities, Koivun emerged as the tournament champion at 15-under-par, holding off a strong field that included Cameron Young, Tommy Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and several other established names.
The victory marks a historic milestone for the young American, who not only lifted his first PGA Tour trophy but also walked away with the tournament’s top prize of $1.71 million, the largest payday of his career. His composed final-round performance highlighted the maturity and confidence that many believe could make him one of golf’s next major stars.
Koivun opened the tournament with a steady 67 before adding a 68 in the second round. A brilliant third-round 64 propelled him into contention, and despite a closing 71 on Sunday, he did enough to finish on 270 strokes (-15) and secure the title.
Cameron Young Falls Just Short
American Cameron Young finished alone in second place after posting an impressive 13-under-par total. Young carded rounds of 67, 69, 67, and 69 to finish two shots behind Koivun.
Although he narrowly missed out on his maiden PGA Tour victory, Young’s runner-up finish earned him $935,000 and continued his consistent run of strong performances this season.
Fleetwood and Kizzire Share Third
England’s Tommy Fleetwood and American Patton Kizzire tied for third place at 11-under-par, each finishing with a total score of 274.
Fleetwood once again showed remarkable consistency throughout the week, while Kizzire battled back after an opening-round 70 to climb into a share of third. Both players received $536,333 for their efforts.
Chris Kirk and Ryan Fox Finish Tied Fifth
Chris Kirk and Ryan Fox shared fifth place at 10-under, finishing one stroke behind Fleetwood and Kizzire.
Both players produced solid performances over the four rounds and collected $293,833 each, adding another strong finish to their seasons.
Strong Week for Kevin Yu and Thomas Detry
Kevin Yu and Belgium’s Thomas Detry finished tied for seventh after reaching 9-under-par.
Their consistent play throughout the week earned each golfer $217,417, another valuable boost in both prize money and FedExCup points.
McIlroy and DeChambeau Finish Inside the Top 10
Two of golf’s biggest names, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, ended the tournament tied for ninth at 8-under-par.
Neither player was able to mount a serious charge for the title during the final round, but both secured respectable top-10 finishes and earned $166,250 apiece.
McIlroy continued to show flashes of brilliance throughout the week, while DeChambeau’s powerful driving kept him within striking distance before ultimately falling short.
Scheffler Ends Week in Tied 11th
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished tied for 11th alongside Sweden’s Ludvig Åberg after both players posted 7-under-par totals.
Scheffler never quite found the momentum required to challenge for the championship, but another top-15 finish demonstrated the consistency that has defined his recent seasons.
Both players earned $120,417.
Niemann and Eckroat Share 13th
Joaquin Niemann and Austin Eckroat finished tied for 13th at 6-under, each taking home $89,583 after steady four-round performances.
Kyle Stanley Rounds Out the Top 15
Kyle Stanley finished 15th at 5-under-par, earning $72,500 after closing with another solid round.
A Breakthrough Victory
The 3M Open will be remembered as the tournament where Jackson Koivun announced himself on one of golf’s biggest stages. Winning against a field featuring major champions, Ryder Cup stars, and some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names is a statement that could define the beginning of an exciting career.
Beyond the trophy, the victory provides Koivun with significant FedExCup points, greater playing opportunities, and increased confidence heading into the remainder of the PGA Tour season. While experienced stars such as McIlroy, Scheffler, Fleetwood, and DeChambeau all left Minnesota with respectable finishes, it was the young American who stole the spotlight.
With a championship performance built on consistency, clutch shot-making, and composure under pressure, Jackson Koivun leaves the 3M Open as both a first-time PGA Tour winner and one of the sport’s brightest emerging talents.
