JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Junior Wanxi Sun (Danville, Calif.) is just 1-over-par and has paced the Seton Hall men's golf team through two rounds of the Georgetown Intercollegiate at Liberty National.
Sun had four birdies and nine pars in round one in route to a 1-over-par, 73. In the afternoon, he shaved that stroke off for an even-par, 72. Entering Tuesday's final round, Sun is tied for 15th place with a 1-over-par, 73-72-145. He trails the individual leader, Columbia's Nathan Han by seven strokes.
As a team, The Hall shot an 8-over-par, 296, in the morning, but slipped to a 16-over-par, 304, in the afternoon. Through 36 holes, the Pirates are in 11th place in a very strong field with a 24-over-par, 296-304-600. Georgetown, the lone other BIG EAST school in the field, is four strokes behind The Hall in 12th place.
Sophomore George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) also had four birdies and nine pars in the morning, but had two problematic holes in the afternoon and had to settle with a 6-over-par, 78. Through two rounds, he's tied for 36th with a 7-over-par, 73-78-151.
Freshman Jack Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) had a rough opening round, but bounced back in a big way in the afternoon. Bosworth used five birdies and eight pars in the afternoon to shave 11 strokes off his first-round score with an even-par, 72. He's currently tied for 48th place with an 11-over-par, 83-72-155.
Both Angus O'Brien (Barwon Heads, Australia) and Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) are tied for 55th place at 15-over-par after struggling in the afternoon. O'Brien shot a 5-over-par, 77, in round one, but fell to a 10-over-par, 82, in round two. Xie had five birdies in the morning in route to a 1-over-par, 73, but dropped to an uncharacteristic 14-over-par, 86, in round two.

Course Vitals: Par-72, 7,387 yards
Dates: October 10-11, 2022
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.
