AIKEN, S.C. – The Hutson-Etherredge Companies and Auto-Owners Insurance USCA Student-Athlete of the Week is golf standout Ian Williams. 

A native of Cary, N.C., Williams guided the Pacers to a third-place finish in the PBC Championship.

The standout tied for second in the tournament against a stacked field. He finished the tournament at one-under par, 215. Williams was one of just four student-athletes in the 45-person field to shoot par or better.

After opening the tournament at four-over par, 76, Williams fired a second-round three-under par, 69. He completed the 54-hole event by shooting two-under par, 70.

Williams bested six student-athletes that are ranked higher than he is (No. 60 nationally).

The Hutson-Etherredge Companies and Auto-Owners Insurance USCA Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week honors one student-athlete each week from an in-season sport for their hard work and effort.
