Will 21 year old Jackson Koivun follow up last week's win with top 5 finish this week at Rocket Mortgage?

Jackson Koivun, fresh off his maiden PGA Tour win the week before at the 3M Open, failed to back it up with a top-5 finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, closing the tournament tied for 48th at 4-under par. Michael Thorbjornsen won his first PGA Tour title at Detroit Golf Club with an 18-under 262, two shots ahead of runner-up Xander Schauffele, with Davis Riley and Rasmus Hojgaard rounding out the top four, per CBS Sports and PGA Tour reporting.
Koivun, 21, had entered the week as a storyline given his rapid rise, but an inconsistent final round left him well outside contention. The result illustrated the difficulty of sustaining top-tier form week to week on tour, even for players coming off a breakthrough win.
The community correctly anticipated this outcome, with only 29% predicting Koivun would post another top-5 finish, reflecting skepticism that a rookie could immediately follow one win with another strong showing against a stacked field. Thorbjornsen's win instead became the week's headline, capping a tournament in which several established veterans, including Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young, also factored into contention before fading.
