NEW YORK, N.Y. – Seton Hall freshman Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) was named BIG EAST Men's Golfer of the Week on Thursday.
Â
In only his second collegiate tournament, Xie claimed the individual title of the 2019 Hartford Hawks Invitational. His efforts helped lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a third-place team finish. Xie entered the day tied with Rider's Jake Sollon for the individual lead, but was able to jump ahead by virtue of a final-round 3-under-par, 69. Xie won the event by one stroke over Fairleigh Dickinson's Melan Dhaubhadel with a 10-under-par, 70-67-69-206.Â
Â
Xie's 206 is the third-lowest par-72 three-round tournament score in Seton Hall history. Furthermore, he's only the fourth Pirate to finish a tournament under par by double-digits.
Â
Xie and the rest of the Pirates will return to the links on Monday, October 7 for the first two of three rounds of golf at the Hamptons Intercollegiate at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton, N.Y.
