Fanonnel Selected Sun Belt Men’s Golfer of the Week

Men's Golf Feb 28
MONROE, La. – ULM junior Guillaume Fanonnel, who earned his first Top-3 finish and recorded his fifth career Top-10 performance by finishing in a four-way tie for third at the Tiger Invitational (Feb. 24-26), has been selected Sun Belt Men's Golfer of the Week.
 
Fanonnel 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. His previous career-best finish was tying for sixth in the Atchafalaya Intercollegiate on Feb. 20-21, 2017.
 
A native of Lyon, France, Fanonnel rattled off five-straight pars to open the final round before recording back-to-back birdies on the sixth and seventh holes at the Grand National Lake Course. 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.
 
"I'm very happy for 'G,'" ULM Director of Golf Tim Baldwin said. "He's been very focused this spring with his practice commitments, and he's making better decisions on the golf course.
 
"'G' is now ranked inside the Top 100 players in college golf, and he's currently No. 22 on the watch list for the international selections for the annual Arnold Palmer Cup."
