EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – Sophomore Deven Ramachandran (San Rafael, Calif.) fired an even-par, 72, in Tuesday's final round to lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a fourth place finish at the Hamptons Intercollegiate.

Ramachandran's 72 was the low round of the tournament for the Pirates. He was 2-under-par on the back nine today, using an eagle on the par-5, No. 13 hole to fuel his strong round. For the tournament, Ramachandran tied for ninth place with a 13-over-par, 81-76-72-229. He finished nine strokes behind the individual champion, Oregon State's Shawn Lu. It's Ramachandran's second career top-10 finish.

As a team, Seton Hall had the second-best final round of the field on Tuesday. The Pirates shaved 23 strokes off their second-round score to post an impressive 6-over-par, 294. The performance enabled The Hall to hop a pair of teams in the final 18 holes and finish fourth. For the tournament, the Pirates shot a 63-over-par, 316-317-294-927. Oregon State ran away with the team title at 26-over-par. Host Loyola (Md.) finished second, only five strokes ahead of the Pirates.

Freshman Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) shot a 2-over-par, 74, on Tuesday to move up six spots in the final individual standings. He tied for 17^th overall with a 17-over-par, 77-82-74-233.

Peter Tyler Po (Nasipit Cebu City, Philippines) bounced back in a big way after a disappointing second round. The sophomore turned in his best round of the tournament with a 1-over-par, 73, a 15-stroke improvement from round two. For the tournament, Po tied for 22^nd place with a 20-over-par, 75-88-73-236.

Junior Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) also turned in his best round of the tournament on Tuesday, shooting 2-under-par over his final six holes. He finished with a 3-over-par, 75, in round three. For the two-day event, he tied for 26^th place with a 22-over-par, 84-79-75-238.

Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) also had a strong finish to his final round, shooting 2-under-par over his last five holes. The junior shot a 6-over-par, 78, on Tuesday to finish in a tie for 38^th place. He finished the event with a 25-over-par, 83-80-78-241.

Competing as an individual, sophomore Ian Lee (Johor, Malaysia) finished his tournament with a 32-over-par, 85-83-80-248.

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 included seven other schools: Brown, Cornell, Oregon State, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Richmond and Yale.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to tournament play, Oct. 14-15, at the Members Club at Four Streams for three rounds of golf at the Georgetown Intercollegiate.
