Jackson Koivun ties for 24th in FedEx St. Jude Championship
Summary

Jackson Koivun's playoff run concluded at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, where he shot an even-par 70 to tie for 24th place. Needing a tie for seventh to advance to the BMW Championship, Koivun fell short due to struggles at the 11th hole, where a triple-bogey hindered his performance. The 21-year-old reflected on his experiences since turning professional, noting a need to manage his diet after losing 10 pounds in his initial months on tour. Looking ahead, Koivun plans to compete in the new Biltmore Championship in September and expressed aspirations for the U.S. Presidents Cup despite being outside the automatic qualification spots.
