Double Win! Go, Pirates Claim Titles at Princeton
4/9/2017 4:42:00 PM | Men's Golf
PRINCETON, N.J. – Senior Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) shot a 1-under-par, 70, in Sunday's final round to win the individual title and lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to the team championship at the 2017 Princeton Invitational.
Four Pirates shot under par in the final round as they turned a four-stroke deficit following two rounds into a five-stroke victory. As a team, The Hall fired an 8-under-par, 276, on Sunday, the best single round of any team throughout the tournament. It also breaks the Pirates' par-71 single-round record set on Sept. 13, 2008, a 279 in the second round of the Rutgers Invitational.
For the three-round event, Seton Hall shot a 1-over-par, 296-281-276-853, to best Harvard by five strokes. The Pirates' lone BIG EAST competition, Georgetown, finished a distant 22 strokes behind.
The team championship is the 28th in Seton Hall men's golf history, and the program's first victory since the 2016 Carlton Oaks WIU Invitational.
Go's title at Princeton only adds to his legendary Seton Hall career. The senior finished his final round with 11 straight pars to claim the individual title with a 9-under-par, 69-65-70-204, five strokes ahead of Harvard's Aurian Capart. It is Go's third career tournament victory, which ties him for second-most in program history.
The win is Go's program-best 24th top-10 finish and 14th top-5 finish. Go's 13 sub-par tournaments and 40 sub-par rounds are also Seton Hall career records.
Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) used an eagle on the par-5, fourth hole to spearhead a 3-under-par, 68, in his final round. The freshman registered his first career top-5 finish by tying for fifth with a 2-over-par, 78-69-68-215. It's Chalk's third top-10 finish this year.
Sophomore Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) notched his best round of the tournament on Sunday, shaving four strokes off his second round score to finish with a 2-under-par, 69. For the three-round event, Yeom tied for eighth overall with a 3-over-par, 74-73-69-216. It's his third career top-10 finish.
Senior Kevin O'Brien (Wexford, Pa.) turned in his top individual round of the year with a 2-under-par, 69, in round three today. He improved six strokes from his second round score and eagled the par-5, 12th hole. For the tournament, he tied for 37th place with a 10-over-par, 79-75-69-223. One of the golfers that tied O'Brien was teammate Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines), who finished with a consistent 75-74-74-223.
Seton Hall wore "Masters Green" shirts and Masters hats in today's final round.
Tournament Details:
PRINCETON INVITATIONAL
Host: Princeton University
Location: Princeton, N.J.
Course: Springdale Golf Club
Course Vitals: Par-71, 6,415 yards
Dates: April 8-9, 2017
The Course:
Dating back to 1895, Springdale Golf Club is one of the oldest in New Jersey. Designed by Gerard Lambert and revised by William Flynn in 1926, the walkable course requires precision shot-making and has superior conditions and playability. The property, which was originally private farmland, was purchased by the Class of 1886 and gifted to Princeton University with the expectation of establishing one of the first courses in the region. The private club has a close relationship with the University, and counts many university professors, administrators and students among its members. With a fine and experienced PGA staff, the club hosts numerous tournaments, collegiate matches, clinics and golf outings every year.
Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to the course next weekend when it plays three rounds of golf at the Rutherford Intercollegiate hosted by Penn State University in State College, Pa.
