Seton Hall Heading to Rancho Santa Fe for NCAA Regionals


resize


The Pirates will play at The Farms Golf Club just outside of San Diego, Calif.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. – The 2024 BIG EAST champion Seton Hall men's golf team has been placed in the Rancho Santa Fe Region for the upcoming NCAA Regionals, May 13-15. The Pirates will compete at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., hosted by the University of San Diego.

This will be the sixth time in program history that Seton Hall has a team competing at the NCAA Regionals and the second time in the last three years. Its 2022 team was seeded 12th in the 14-team Yale Regional and placed eighth, out-shooting a pair of teams ranked nationally in the Top-35, Charlotte (31) and NC State (27). Seton Hall's eighth place finish is the best in program history at an NCAA Regional and its 848 final team score is the lowest in five prior all-time trips to the marquee event.

The 2024 Rancho Santa Fe Regional will be played May 13-15 and consist of 14 teams and five individuals (not from those 13 or 14 teams). The top five teams and one individual (not from a top-5 team) will advance to the National Championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., May 24-29.

No Seton Hall golfer has ever advanced to the National Championship.

The Pirates earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals with a thrilling five-stroke victory at the 2024 BIG EAST Championship. The Hall shot an even-par, 288, in the final round to hold off Butler. It's the Pirates' fourth BIG EAST title overall and the second in three years.

The Rancho Santa Fe Region:
  1. Arizona State
  2. Washington
  3. Oklahoma
  4. California
  5. Oklahoma State
  6. North Florida
  7. Chattanooga
  8. South Florida
  9. San Diego
  10. West Virginia
  11. Kansas
  12. Wright State
  13. SETON HALL
  14. Winthrop

Transfer Portal… Boomerang SHU recruits???

As the transfer portal starts to heat up, familiar names are starting to pop up. I had a feeling a lot of the guys who stood up Seton Hall at the altar would end up available again at some point.

Most noticeably, Scotty Middleton and Ty-Lahr Johnson made their way onto the portal the last couple of days.

I believe we were finalists with these two the first time around.

Personally I’d inquire about Scotty. Not sure about Johnson especially with the whole uniform issue that he almost sat out a game with Louisville this year.

Things looking bleak at the moment but…

There is still time for Sha to get this roster together.

Would be foolish at this point to expect us to land any big names with our small NIL che$t and honestly that is fine with me. Give us some transfers from small schools looking to move up and grab playing time.

Give me some dudes who want to play Shaheen Holloway style basketball and don’t have inflated egos or illusions of big pay days and NBA aspirations.

Come to Seton Hall and get a quality education without the distractions that come with playing for a big time school and focus on winning basketball games. At this point I’m happy with that.

Now bring on the negative responses

Jack Bosworth is only one stroke off the individual lead.

HARDEEVILLE, S.C. – The Pirates will be pursuing their second BIG EAST title in three years during Monday's final round, and they'll do so as the team leaders by two strokes after 36 holes of the 2024 BIG EAST Championship at Riverton Pointe Country Club.

Seton Hall received big rounds from both Jack Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) and Wanxi Sun (Danville, Calif.) during Sunday's second round. Bosworth had five birdies in round two, including one on the 18th hole in front of a large Seton Hall contingent, to fuel an even-par, 72. For the tournament, Bosworth is tied for third among all individual golfers with a 1-under-par, 71-72-143. He trails a duo of individual leaders by only one stroke with 18 holes left to play.

Sun also had five birdies to power his second-straight even-par, 72. For the tournament, he's just one stroke behind Bosworth and tied for sixth place with an even-par, 72-72-144.

Like Sun, the Pirates as a whole showed their consistency, firing their second-consecutive 4-over-par, 292. Only Xavier (even) and Butler (+3) had better rounds on Sunday. After 36 holes, The Hall has a two-stroke lead on the field at 8-over-par with a 292-292-584. Butler is two strokes behind at 10-over-par, while Villanova is third at 14-over-par.

Defending champion and top-ranked Marquette faded to fourth place at 17-over-par.

Wenliang Xie (Burbank, Calif.) was 2-under-par on the front nine, but 4-over on the back. The graduate student shot a 2-over-par, 74, on Sunday and is now tied for sixth overall. For the tournament, he's tied with Sun at even-par with a 70-74-144.

David Lally (Wicklow, Ireland) had a nice bounce-back round on Sunday. The sophomore had four birdies in route to a 2-over-par, 74, a five-stroke improvement from round one. For the tournament, he's 9-over-par with a 79-74-153.

Junior George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) was marooned by one bad hole, but was otherwise solid on Sunday. He shot a 6-over-par, 78, in round two. For the championship, he's 13-over-par with a 79-78-157.
