GOODYEAR, ARIZ. – Senior Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) fired a 5-under-par, 67, in Monday's final round of the 2017 Loyola Intercollegiate to lead the Seton Hall men's golf team to a seventh place team finish.

Go ended his remarkable round with six birdies, 11 pars and just one bogey to tie for the third-lowest par-72 round in Pirate history. Go finished second among 96 individual golfers with a record 11-under-par, 68-70-67-205. The 205 is the lowest three-round, par-72 score ever for a Seton Hall golfer. Furthermore, his 11-under-par, is the second-most strokes under par, for any par course, in Pirate history.

Go finished behind only Eastern Michigan's Kyle Rodes, who won the individual title at 13-under-par.

Collectively, Seton Hall shot an even-par, 288, in round three to tie for seventh place among 16 teams competing. For the three-day event, the Pirates finished at 7-under-par with a 282-287-288-857. The Hall finished 23 strokes behind the team champion, Connecticut, but performed better than a pair of BIG EAST opponents. St. John's finished 11 strokes behind the Pirates, while DePaul was 13 strokes behind.

Seton Hall's three-day total of 857 breaks its three-round, par-72 record by one stroke, which was set at this tournament last year. The Pirates' 7-under-par are the second-most strokes under par in a tournament.

Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) continued his very strong sophomore year. Nagai recorded 17 pars and one birdie on Sunday for a 1-under-par, 71. For the three-day tournament, he finished at 2-under-par with a 72-71-71-214. It's the fourth sub-par tournament of Nagai's career, all of which have come as a sophomore.

Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) and Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) finished the tournament in a tie for 51^st place overall. Yeom shot a 4-over-par, 76, on Monday, while Chalk had a 2-over-par, 74. For the 54-hole event, Yeom was 3-over-par with a 70-73-76-219. Chalk was 3-over-par with a 72-73-74-219.

Rounding out the team scoring, senior Kevin O'Brien (Wexford, Pa.) shot a 10-over-par, 82, in round three. For the tournament, he finished at 21-over-par with a 75-80-82-237.

Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) and Alex McAuley (Douglas, Isle of Man), both competing as individuals, continued their strong tournaments. Yip shot a 1-over-par, 73, on Monday to finish the tournament at just 1-over-par with a consistent 72-72-73-217. McAuley capped his fine event with a 3-over-par, 75, in round three. For the tournament, he had an 8-over-par, 77-72-75-224.
