- 9:04 PMYahoo Sports — Jackson Koivun is a PGA Tour winner in three starts and needs time to see where he goes
"Jackson Koivun is next on the list and certainly worth watching. It's not just because he won a PGA Tour event — which included the No. 1 player in the world — just two months after leaving college. Remember, it was only two years ago when Nick Dunlap won The American Express (Scottie Scheffler played that one, too) while he was a sophomore at Alabama.
