UNIVERSITY PLACE, WASH. - JT Harper (Pebble Beach, Calif.) shot a 1-over-par, 72, in the Final round of the Redhawk Invitational to place the Seton Hall men's golf team to a 15th place finish.
Harper finished the three-round event in a tie for 55th place with a 75-77-72-224. Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) also had a huge final round, shooting a 2-over-par, 73. The freshman ended up tying teammate Cory Wilson (Newton, N.J.) for the tournament's low score on the team. Go finished at 10-over-par with a 72-76-73-221, while Wilson was 10-over-par with a 70-76-75-221. Both tied for 42nd place overall and finished 21 strokes behind San Diego's Grant Forrest, who finished the tournament at an impressive 11-under par.
Collectively, Seton Hall placed 15th in the 18-team field, an impressive feat considering it was ranked 18th in the Golfstat rankings among the teams competing. The Pirates shot a 55-over-par, 294-307-298-899. UCLA won the team event at 9-under par. Seton Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, St. John's, finished 12th at 37-over par.
Senior Gary Dunne (Wicklow, Ireland) finished at 22-over-par with a 77-78-78-233, while Derrick Kim (New City, N.Y.) finished at 34-over par with an 82-78-85-245.
The tournament, hosted by Seattle University, featured 18 teams. The course played to a par-70, measuring 7,047 yards on the first day, and a par-71, measuring 7,348 yards on the second day.
Chambers Bay, home of the 2015 United States Open Championship, is a unique tribute to the historic links of Scotland and Ireland. With Puget Sound providing a serene backdrop to Chambers Bay, this breathtaking layout winds through a stunning coastal setting, among windswept dunes and native fescue grasses. The snow-capped Olympic Mountains rim the western shore and eagles keep silent watch overhead. In every sense, Robert Trent Jones II has created an awe-inspiring design that is as spectacular as the beauty surrounding it.
Seton Hall will return to the links on Saturday, April 12 for the first and second rounds of the three-round Princeton Invitational.
