BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Sophomore Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) fired a 1-under-par, 71, in Tuesday's final round of the 2016 Mountaineer Intercollegiate to help lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a 10^th place tie.

Nagai had a team-best five birdies on the round and completes the tournament tied for 39th place with a 9-over-par, 80-74-71-225. Today's performance is Nagai's fifth sub-par round in 11 rounds so far this fall.

Collectively, Seton Hall saved its best effort for round three. The Pirates fired a 7-over-par, 295, the fifth-best round of the field on the day. The Hall finished the three-round event with a 31-over-par, 303-297-295-895 to tie Memphis for 10^th place. Arkansas won the team title and was the only team to shoot under par for the tournament at 6-undeer-par.

Senior Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) shot an even-par, 72, on Tuesday, and again finished as the top Pirate performer for the tournament. Go tied for fifth overall among 78 individual golfers with a stellar 1-under-par, 69-74-72-215. He finished five strokes behind the individual champion, Miami's Patrick Flavin. This is the ninth straight tournament for Go registering the Pirates' low score.

For Go, this is his third sub-par tournament in four events this fall and the 11^th of his historic career at Seton Hall. With this effort, he passes Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer Eugene Smith for most career sub-par tournaments. It's also his 21^st career top-10 finish, which ties Chris Reeves for the most in Seton Hall history. His 12 top-5 finishes is tied for second-most.

Freshman Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) shot a 5-over-par, 77, on Tuesday to finish tied with Nagai for 39^th place overall. For the two-day event, the Pirate newcomer was 9-over-par with a 73-75-77-225.

Sophomore Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) finished the Mountaineer Intercollegiate with two solid rounds. Yeom had a 2-over-par, 74, in round two, and was only one stroke worse, at 3-over-par, in round three. For the tournament, he tied for 56^th place overall with a 14-over-par, 81-74-75-230.

Junior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) rounded out the Pirates' scoring for the tournament. He logged a 32-over-par, 83-78-87-248.

From 2004-2009, Pete Dye GC course played host to an annual PGA TOUR/web.com event.
