Move over, Tiger.
Jackson Koivun is the new NCAA recordholder for 36-hole score in relation to par.
The Auburn junior fired 10-under 62 for the second straight round Friday at Mauna Lani Resort in Waimea, Hawaii, to move to 20 under through two rounds of the Amer Ari Invitational. That is two shots better than Tiger Woods’ previous NCAA record of 18 under after 36 holes of the 1996 Pac-10 Championship at Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach, California.
Koivun is also the first player in NCAA history to post two rounds of 62 or lower in the same event.
Prior to this…
Best 36-hole score-to-par was Tiger’s -18/126 (par72)
Best raw score was Sebastian Sandin’s 64-60=124/-16 (par70)
No known instances of a player shooting 62 (or better) twice in a tournament, much less back-to-back #CollegeGolfHistory!!https://t.co/sKHTsXM7ri

Sebastian Sandin’s 16-under 124 (64-60) remains the lowest 36-hole total in NCAA history.
Next up in Koivun’s record chase: the NCAA’s 54-hole record, set by Wenyi Ding at the 2024 Amer Ari. Ding shot 63-64-62 at Mauna Lani to finish at 27-under 189.
But Koivun doesn’t have this year’s title in the bag yet. He leads Arizona State senior Michael Mjaaseth by only two shots. As a team, Auburn, which had just one bogey as a squad on Thursday, is 47 under, three ahead of Stanford, which is one clear of Texas and two up on the Sun Devils.
