Francis Marion University / McDonald's Student-Athlete of the Week

Francis Marion University men’s golf sophomore, Mitchell Vance has been named the McDonald's Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 1-7.

Vance, a Hartsville, S.C., native, paced the Francis Marion University golf team, finishing 5-under par (69-69-73=211) and tied for seventh place at the Raines Company Intercollegiate on Sunday (Feb. 7). The Patriots finished sixth with rounds of 281-276-295=852 and 12-under par — its third Top-10 finish of the season.

He followed up his back-to-back career-low rounds of 69, with a round of 1-over par 73 on Sunday. The Hartsville native played the par 3's at 3-under par and tallied 11 birdies over the two days. His three-round total of 211 and 5-under par is a career-low and is the fourth-best individual three-round total in school history. His seventh-place showing is also his best as a Patriot.
