Golf Travels to the Cavalier Classic, April 25-26

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. Fresh off a third place finish at The BIG EAST Championship earlier this week, the Seton Hall men’s golf team will travel to Charlottesville, Va. for the regular season’s final competition, the Cavalier Classic, April 25-26. 

Hosted by the University of Virginia, the Cavalier Classic will last for 36-holes and will be played on the par-72, 6,875-yard Birdwood Golf Course.  The 18-team field includes Akron, Appalachian State, Augusta State, East Carolina, Francis Marion, George Mason, James Madison, Liberty, Longwood, Maryland, Radford, South Carolina, Towson and UNC Wilmington.  Two other BIG EAST teams are also included in the field, Rutgers and Villanova.  Virginia has won the tournament each of the last two years and six times since the events inception in 1988.

Last year, Seton Hall finished a disappointing 16^th place at the Cavalier Classic.  Sophomore Colin Van Es (Granger, Ind.) led the Pirates with a 2-over-par, 72-74-146, to tie for 12^th place among all individual golfers.

Senior John Zur (Glenview, Ill.), likely playing in the final tournament of his collegiate career, is coming off a spectacular performance at the 2009 BIG EAST Championship in which he shot a 5-under-par, 69-72-70-211, and tied for fifth place overall.  He’s currently leading the team with a spring stroke average of 74.00.
