After seeing fellow college star Luke Clanton secure his PGA Tour card last week, Jackson Koivun has a chance to follow suit at this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational as a sponsor exemption, but the Auburn sophomore isn't putting any added pressure on himself.

"It's hard not to think about that, knowing going into an event if I top-10, I can get my PGA Tour card," said Koivun, who is two points shy of earning his card via the PGA Tour University accelerated pathway. "But just trying to put that in the back of my mind and go play like I know I can. If everything falls into place, that's great, but at the end of the day I'm just trying to come out here and have fun."

Koivun, 19, is in position to secure his card this week at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Fla., mainly because of his tremendous freshman season that included two victories (including the SEC championship) and five second-place finishes, including the NCAA championship.
