JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Freshman George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) fired an even-par, 72, in Tuesday's final round to lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a 10^th place finish at the Georgetown Intercollegiate at Liberty National.

Fricker had four birdies and 11 pars in route to an even-par, 72. His day got off to a hot start as he was 3-under-par though his first 10 holes. For the tournament, Fricker tied for 23^rd place among 60 individual golfers with a Seton Hall-best 7-over-par, 73-78-72-223.

As a team, The Hall shot a 12-over-par, 300, in round three. The Hall finished 10^th in a very competitive field that included national powers such as Duke, Michigan and Penn State with a 36-over-par, 296-304-300-900. Duke won the title at even-par. The Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, Georgetown, finished in 12^th place at 46-over-par.

After two strong rounds to begin the tournament, junior Wanxi Sun (Danville, Calif.) struggled a bit on Tuesday and settled with a 9-over-par, 81. For the event, Sun tied for 34^th place with a 10-over-par, 73-72-81-226.

The final three Pirate golfers all finished within a single stroke of each other. Freshman Jack Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) had three birdies today to finish with a 6-over-par, 78. For the tournament, he was 17-over-par with an 83-72-78-233.

Only one stroke behind Bosworth finished both Angus O'Brien (Barwon Heads, Australia) and Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) at 18-over-par with both shooting 3-over-par on Tuesday. O'Brien had four birdies today and finished the event with an 18-over-par, 77-82-75-234. Xie had three birdies and 10 pars today and finishes the tournament at 18-over-par with a 73-86-75-234.

THE COURSE:
Our 18-hole Championship Golf Course reflects the detailed expertise of 1992 U.S. Open Champion Tom Kite and renowned golf course architect Bob Cupp, who collaborated on the design. Kite & Cupp's parkland links style layout of Liberty National is dramatic and yet traditional, taking into account the site's cultural heritage, aesthetic principles, and elements of light and shadow. Golfers enjoy magnificent views of the Statue of Liberty, the New York Harbor, Manhattan Skyline, and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.

In twice hosting PGA Tour events – and with more tournaments on the horizon - Liberty has not only brought prestige to New Jersey but also revenue and a sense of community. Liberty has helped New Jersey stand shoulder to shoulder with its neighboring states as a hub of business and culture while also providing a link to this land's unique history. On the shoreline of Liberty is a pathway to our nation's humble beginnings, and where immigrants first gazed upon a beautiful statue and dared to dream.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Georgetown, the field included 10 other schools: Boston College, Campbell, Columbia, Duke, Loyola (MD), Miami (OH), Michigan, Penn State, Princeton, and Yale.

UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will wrap up play this fall with three rounds of golf at the Daniel Island Invitational, Oct. 30 – Nov. 1, at Ralston Creek Course in Daniel Island, S.C.
