NEW YORK – Seton Hall graduate student Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) was named BIG EAST Men's Co-Golfer of the Week on Thursday.
Â
Xie fired a 5-under-par, 67, in the final round of The Big Texan on Tuesday to tie for second place among 89 individual golfers and lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a fourth-place team finish. Xie had only one blemish on Tuesday, a bogey on the 11th hole, in route to completing one of the best single rounds in program history. With six birdies and 11 pars, he shot a 5-under-par, 67, to shoot to the top of the individual leader board.Â
Â
It's Xie's 11th sub-par tournament, which ranks second-most in program history. For the tournament, he shot a 7-under-par, 73-69-67-209, finishing only four strokes behind the tournament's individual champion.
Â
Xie shares the award this week with Connecticut's Bradley Sawka who was 6-under-par and tied for second at the Bridgestone Collegiate Invitational on Tuesday.
Â
Xie and the rest of the Pirates will return to the links on April 1-2 for three rounds of golf at the RedHawk Invitational at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place, Wash.
