Pirates Take On RedHawk Invitational, Monday

PITTSBURGH - The Seton Hall men's golf team will return to tournament action for three rounds of golf at the RedHawk Invitational, Sept. 14-15, at the Pittsburgh Field Club.

Tournament Details:
REDHAWK INVITATIONAL
Host: Miami University (Ohio)
Location: Pittsburgh, Pa.
Course: Pittsburgh Field Club
Dates: September 14-15, 2026

THE COURSE:
What started as a three-hole course on the H.C. Frick property in 1895, to today's 18 hole layout complete with unparalleled practice facilities and course conditions, the story of golf at the Pittsburgh Field Club is ever changing.

The original design of the golf course at its present day location was done by Alexander H. Findlay and was constructed by Fred Pickering. Many of the original holes or parts of the original holes are still in use today; however, some of his original holes like the 600 yard par 6 #12 played to an island green followed by "Gibraltar", a 165 yard par 3 with its green perched on top of a sharp cliff have gone away.

Since that time, the golf course and property have undergone numerous changes. Properties were purchased that are now the practice area as well as the current #11 and #12 holes. Modifications to the golf course have been done by Donald Ross, Albert (A.W.) Tillinghast, Willie Park Jr., Emil Loeffler & John McGlynn, Robert Trent Jones, Arthur Hills, Craig Schreiner, Tripp Davis, and Keith Foster which have created the layout that exists today.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Miami (Ohio), the field includes 13 other schools: Ball State, Bowling Green State, Cleveland State, Dayton, LSU, Loyola (Md.), Notre Dame, Oakland, Ohio University, Richmond, Robert Morris and VCU. Fellow BIG EAST opponent, Butler, is also in the field.

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

THE LINEUP:
Here's the lineup the Pirates will bring to Pittsburgh…

Will Hennessee, Junior
Blake Goodnight, Sophomore
Jacob De Jesus, Senior
Luke Nolan, Junior

LAST TIME OUT:
Junior Will Hennessee (Tulsa, Okla.) fired a 2-under-par, 70, in round three to lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to the title of the 2026 Alex Lagowitz Memorial on Sept. 6 to open the 2026 fall season.

The Hall won the team title going away, clubbing the rest of the field by 10 strokes. On Sunday, the Pirates, collectively, shot a 1-over-par, 289. For the event, Seton Hall was 11-under-par with a 278-286-289-853. Saint Joseph's came in second place at 1-under-par.

Hennessee turned in a third-consecutive sub-par round on Sunday, using four birdies and 12 pars to fuel a 2-under-par, 70. For the tournament, he placed second with a 5-under-par, 70-71-70-211. It's Hennessee's sixth career sub-par tournament, which is already tied for eighth-most in program history. His three sub-par rounds give him 14 for his career.
