NEW YORK, N.Y. – Seton Hall freshman Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) was named BIG EAST Men's Golfer of the Week on Thursday.

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.

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.

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.
