MEN'S GOLFER OF THE WEEK
Guillaume Fanonnel, ULM (Junior, Lyon, France)

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). The back-to-back rounds of 69 also marked the first time in his collegiate career that Fanonnel had consecutive rounds in the 60s. Fanonnel rattled off five-straight pars to open the final round before recording back-to-back birdies on the sixth and seventh holes. He recorded two birdies and a bogey in his next three holes before moving back to 2-under-par with an eagle at 12. Fanonnel had a stretch of three pars before closing with two birdies on his final three holes.
