NEW YORK – Seton Hall junior Wanxi Sun (Danville, Calif.) was named BIG EAST Men's Co-Golfer of the Week on Wednesday.
Â
Last week, Sun put together one of the finest single-tournament golfing performances in Pirate history, and in the process, lifted The Hall to the team title of the Alex Lagowitz Memorial. With three sub-par rounds, he shot a remarkable 11-under-par, 67-68-60-205, to win the individual title by five strokes over the second-place finisher, Villanova's Ryan Palmer. Sun's 205 is tied for the second-lowest par-72, three-round score in program history. Furthermore, his 11-under-par is tied for the most strokes under par ever for a Pirate.Â
Â
It's Sun's first career win and second career top-5 finish.
Â
Sun shares the award this week with Connecticut's Jared Nelson who was 15-under-par at the Doc Gimmler last week.
Â
Sun and the rest of the Pirates will return to the links on September 24-25 for three rounds of golf at the Dartmouth Invitational at Montcalm Golf Club in Enfield, N.H.
