The final day of the Rocket Classic is here, and 18 holes separate Jackson Koivun from a repeat PGA event crown.
The two-time national champion golfer at Auburn made the cut for the final day of the Rocket Classic after posting his second straight three-under round on Saturday. He now sits at No. 40 on the Rocket Classic leaderboard at seven-under par, gaining ground on the likes of Max Greyserman, Beau Hossler, and Harris English, who were all tied with Koivun following second-round action on Friday.

Koivun will need a great round to top leader Davis Riley, who enters Sunday’s final round 15 under par, one stroke ahead of Michael Brennan and three strokes ahead of notable names including Rickie Fowler, Chris Kirk, and Cameron Young.
Koivun will have extra time to rest on Sunday as his tee time is set for 9:44 a.m. CT, when he is paired with Ben Kohles and Hideki Matsuyama. Both Kohles and Matsuyama are tied with Koivun at seven under par entering the final day of competition.
