GOLF.com: 21-Year-Old Koivun Chases First PGA Tour Win at 2026 3M Open
The 2026 3M Open wraps up Sunday at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, with 21-year-old Jackson Koivun standing on the cusp of his first PGA Tour victory.
Koivun's Saturday 61 Creates a Cushion
Koivun fired a spectacular 10-under 61 in Round 3 to reach 20-under par, building a three-shot advantage over Emiliano Grillo and Ben Kohles heading into the final round. This is only his third start since turning professional and his 13th PGA Tour appearance overall — a remarkable position for such a young player.
Koivun and Grillo are scheduled to tee off at 1:40 p.m. ET in the final pairing.
Scheffler Six Back, Still a Threat
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler plays alongside Brian Harman at 12:50 p.m. ET, sitting six shots behind at 14-under. A final-round charge from the world's best player can never be ruled out.

Strokeslab's Take
Until the Strokes Gained breakdown is available, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where Koivun's 61 was built — but 20-under is the number, and three shots is a meaningful lead. The question Sunday is whether a rookie can hold it when Scheffler turns the pressure up.
We'll be watching for the Strokes Gained breakdown from Koivun's 61 — understanding which categories built this lead will tell us a lot about whether a 21-year-old rookie can sustain elite performance under final-round pressure.
