Not only did he end up on the top of the leaderboard, he also had to hold off, oh, you know, world number one, Scottie Scheffler, who made a charge on Sunday.
Koyan went bogey-free over his last 42 holes in Minnesota to raise that trophy.
But let's take a look at how he's doing this week now on the par four 13th at Detroit Golf Club.
After a bogey on 11, this is his approach, Steve.
