EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – Sophomore Deven Ramachandran (San Rafael, Calif.) is 13-over-par through two rounds and has led the Seton Hall men's golf team to a fifth place tie with one round left at the Hamptons Intercollegiate.

Ramachandran shaved five strokes off his first-round score, finishing his second round with back-to-back birdies. For the tournament, he's tied for 19^th place with a 13-over-par, 81-76-157.

Collectively, Seton Hall is 57-over-par with a 316-317-633. Oregon State is the team leader after two rounds at 23-over-par.

Freshman Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) is currently tied for 23^rd place with a 15-over-par, 77-82-159.

Junior Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) is tied for 30th place at 17-over-par. Acevedo improved five strokes in the afternoon and has an 84-79-163.

Junior Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) is tied for 36^th place at 19-over-par. Tait was three strokes better in his second round, which was fueled by an eagle on the par-4, No. 17 hole. He has an 83-80-163.

Sophomore Peter Tyler Po (Nasipit Cebu City, Philippines) had the top Pirate score after a 3-over-par, 75, in round one, but fell victim to a brutal 10^th hole in round two and had to settle with a 16-over-par, 88, in round two.

The Course:
The Club derives its name from the original name for East Hampton, which was Maidstone, named after Maidstone in England. It was founded as a 7-hole course in 1894 and expanded to eighteen holes in 1899. The Club was the summer retreat of New York City's most wealthy and socially connected families. Maidstone is considered to be the most elite, prestigious and difficult to get into of all the clubs in "The Hamptons".

Willie Dunn laid out the first course in 1894; it was but a rudimentary 7-hole layout. Seth Raynor drew up re-design plans in 1921. Then in 1924 Willie Park, Jr. and his brother Jack designed the 80-acre (320,000 m2) Gardiner Peninsula addition. The expansion resulted in the club having two 18-hole courses, but this was reduced to the current 27-hole layout by the hurricane of 1938.

The Parks' routing on the 80 acres on Gardiner's Peninsula and the remaining 50 acres introduces multiple hazards at various angles, including a marsh, Hook Pond, sand dunes, beach grass, reeds, well-placed bunkers, out of bounds and the ever-present wind.

In 2014, Maidstone was ranked #37 in Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." list, and #67 in their "Top 100 Courses in the World" list.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Loyola, the small field includes seven other schools: Brown, Cornell, Oregon State, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Richmond and Yale.

Tee Times:
