ULM junior Guillaume Fanonnel earned his first Top-3 finish and recorded his fifth career Top-10 performance as he finished in a four-way tie for third at the Tiger Invitational, which concluded on Monday, Feb. 26 at the Grand National Lake Course. Fanonnel, whose previous career-best finish was tying for sixth in the Atchafalaya Intercollegiate on Feb. 20-21, 2017, finished in a four-way tie for third alongside SMU teammates McClure Meissner and Noah Goodwin and Georgia State?s Josh Edgar after shooting a final-round 69 to close with a 3-under-par 213 (75-69-69).
