Jackson Koivun Holds FedExCup's Final No. 70 Spot Entering 500-Point Wyndham Championship

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Aug 4

Summary

  • Jackson Koivun enters the Wyndham Championship at No. 70 in the FedExCup standings, occupying the final playoff berth before the PGA Tour regular season ends at Sedgefield.
  • The 21-year-old rookie reached the bubble after a T31 at the Rocket Classic and a breakthrough 3M Open win last month, where he beat Scottie Scheffler in just his third pro start.
  • The cutoff remains volatile because the Wyndham winner earns 500 points; players from No. 61 Nick Taylor to No. 112 Rico Hoey are in the field chasing the top 70.
  • Brooks Koepka starts No. 86 and needs a solo fourth or better to qualify, while Danny Willett at No. 182 must win outright to reach next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship.
