Texas Wins Ford Collegiate, Auburn’s Koivun Secures Playoff Victory

The Ford Collegiate concluded at The Ford Field and River Club in Richmond Hill, Georgia, with Texas capturing the team title and Auburn’s Jackson Koivun earning medalist honors after a playoff.

Texas finished at 43 under with rounds of 272, 274, and 275. Auburn placed second at 32 under, followed by LSU at 14 under. Wake Forest finished fourth at 13 under.

Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern tied for fifth at 11 under. Notre Dame placed seventh at 10 under, followed by Georgia at 7 under. Oklahoma finished ninth at 4 under, and South Carolina rounded out the top ten at even par.

In the individual standings, Koivun defeated Texas’ Christiaan Maas on the first playoff hole after both players finished at 13 under. Koivun closed with rounds of 70, 67, and 66, highlighted by a 29 on the back nine in the final round to force the playoff. He recorded seven birdies across a 10 hole stretch to secure the win.

The victory marked Koivun’s fifth individual win of the season and the 10th of his collegiate career.
