BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – After leading the Tigers in a record-breaking performance at the Amer Ari Invitational, Auburn men's golf freshman Jackson Koivun was named Southeastern Conference Golfer of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
It is the fourth SEC weekly honor for Koivun, the most by any golfer in program history.
Koivun was the team's low man at last weekend's Amer Ari Invitational. Auburn finished third behind a school-record 58-under total. He matched the individual record for 54-hole score for the second time just five tournaments into his collegiate career. The rookie from Chapel Hill, North Carolina shot 67-63-69 (-17) to place tied for fourth. He now ranks second in school history for top-10 finishes by a freshman (4) and needs three more to tie Brandon Mancheno (2017-20) for the lead.
Next up, Koivun and the Tigers head to Las Vegas for the Southern Highlands Collegiate Feb. 25-27 at Southern Highlands Golf Club. Auburn is slated to make its first appearance at the event since 2019.
