THE COURSE:
As one of the top private golf clubs in Charleston, SC, the Daniel Island Club features the country's only private pairing of golf courses designed by Tom Fazio and Rees Jones playing out of the same clubhouse. Both nationally ranked courses are perfectly integrated into the breathtaking Lowcountry landscape and the country club neighborhood of Daniel Island Park.

Against a stunning backdrop of natural saltwater marsh and tidal creek vistas, acclaimed golf course architect Rees Jones has designed a true low country classic. Ralston Creek, Daniel Island's second 18-hole masterpiece, is a par 72 course playing 7,446 yards from the championship tees.

LAST TIME OUT:
Freshman George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) fired an even-par, 72, in the final round to lift The Hall to a 10th place finish at the Georgetown Intercollegiate at Liberty National on Oct. 11. 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 23rd 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's lone BIG EAST competition, Georgetown, finished in 12th place at 46-over-par.

LAST TIME AT DANIEL ISLAND:
Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) was the individual runner-up and Andres Acevedo notched a top-10 finish to lift the Pirates to the team title of the highly-competitive Daniel Island Intercollegiate last fall.

Playing in a talented field that included a pair of top-50 competitors, Virginia (20) and Florida State (48), The Hall led wire-to-wire to claim its first tournament title since the Princeton Invitational in 2017. The first of what would be four wins during a memorable 2021-22 year.

The Pirates led the large field of 20 teams with a 6-under-par, 282-282-294-858, besting second-place South Carolina by four strokes. Xie had four birdies and 11 pars in round three in route to his third consecutive 1-under-par, 71.
