THE COURSE:
Mystic Rock, the dream of Nemacolin's founder, Joseph A. Hardy III, brought to life by prominent designer Pete Dye, is one of the country's finest golf courses. Perched atop the Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains, the 7,526-yard Mystic Rock spans acres of the scenic Laurel Highlands, offering players championship-level golf in a spectacular setting.

Nemacolin and Golf Architect Tim Liddy partnered with Pete Dye — before Dye's passing — with designs for an impressive and extensive bunker renovation to Mystic Rock, which was completed in 2021. The transformation to upgrade the bunkers, playing surfaces, and tee boxes solidifies Mystic Rock as one of the premier mountain courses in the country.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host West Virginia, the large field included 17 other schools: Bucknell, Campbell, Davidson, Delaware, Eastern Kentucky, George Mason, George Washington, James Madison, Mount St. Mary's, Penn State, Richmond, Robert Morris, Saint Francis, Towson, VCU, Western Carolina and William & Mary.

THE FORMAT:
Teams played five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.

UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will return to tournament play for three rounds of golf at The Bryson Invitational, at Daniel Island Golf Club in Daniel Island, S.C., Oct. 13-15.
