SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Mercer senior Stanton Schorr has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Golfer of the Week for all competition from March 6-12. The selection is made by the league office.

The Columbus, Georgia, native shot a 3-under-par 213 at the USF Invitational at the Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club in Tampa, Florida, tying for third in the 84-man field, which included one top-25 team and one top-50 ranked player. Schorr turned in three consecutive 1-under rounds of 71, earning his fourth top-five finish in eight events in 2018-19, including two of his three spring outings.

Schorr helped the Bears to a fourth-place finish in the 15-team field. Mercer has finished in the top five in six of its eight events this academic year, including in two of its three spring tournaments.

Just before the tournament, Schorr played as an amateur in a PGA Makenzie Tour qualifying event in Florida, finishing third to earn full-exempt status for the first half of the Makenzie Tour after his graduation in the spring.

Mercer returns to action this weekend, when it hosts its Linger Longer Invitational at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia, from Friday to Sunday.

Also nominated: Geuntae Kim (ETSU), Keller Harper (Furman), Lake Johnson (Chattanooga), George Whitbread (Western Carolina) and Walker Simas (Wofford).
