SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Furman senior Keller Harper has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Golfer of the Week for all competition March 24-30. The selection is made by the league office.
 
Harper won the Furman Intercollegiate over the weekend, finishing at 6-under-par 207 to claim a three-stroke victory over the rest of the 102-man field. The Atlanta, Georgia, native opened with a 5-under 66 in Friday’s first round before posting a 2-under 69 on Saturday. He finished with a 1-over 72 on Sunday to complete the wire-to-wire run to his second victory of the season. Harper, who tied for the tournament lead in birdies (14) and par-4 scoring (1-under), became the 10^th Paladin to win the Furman Intercollegiate and just the second to win it twice.
 
Harper’s efforts also helped the Paladins to the wire-to-wire team win at their home tournament, as Furman finished two strokes clear of the rest of the 17-team field, which also included SoCon squads Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. The 2021 Furman Intercollegiate title was the Paladins’ third overall and first since 2004.
 
Furman is back in action at the Irish Creek Collegiate at the Club at Irish Creek in Kannapolis, North Carolina, on Friday and Saturday.
