MGolf at 2013 BIG EAST Championship

REUNION, FLA. – The spring season is coming to a close for the Seton Hall men’s golf team with the 2013 BIG EAST Championship, April 28-30, at Reunion Resort, just outside Orlando, Fla.   The 12-team BIG EAST field will compete on the acclaimed Tom Watson Course, a par-72, 7,257-yard signature design by Watson himself that’s highlighted by fast, firm and wide rolling fairways as well as a variety of strategically placed bunkers and large greens. The teams will be grouped by golfstat ranking for the first round.  Seton Hall will be paired with Georgetown and Rutgers.   The Pirates enter this year’s championship off a 13^th place showing at the ultra-competitive Rutherford Intercollegiate.  Wilson tied for 17^th among all individual golfers to lead the Pirates.  On Thursday, Cory Wilson (Newton, N.J.) was named Seton Hall’s Freshman Male Athlete of the Year at Seton Hall’s annual Student-Athlete Advisory Council Awards Banquet.   Last year, the Championship was held on the same course and Seton Hall placed seventh among the 12-team field.  Only one golfer however, will return from that team, junior Gary Dunne (Wicklow, Ireland).  Dunne finished the three-day event as the Pirates’ top performer tying for seventh among all golfers with a 1-under-par, 72-74-69-215.    Championship Central at www.bigeast.org is providing wall-to-wall coverage of the three-round event.  Golf stat is providing live scoring.  Complete coverage of Seton Hall’s performance will be available following each day’s competition on www.SHUpirates.com.
