PRINCETON, N.J. – Freshman Deven Ramachandran (San Rafael, Calif.) fired a career-best 3-under-par, 68, in the final round of 2019 Princeton Invitational and the Seton Hall men's golf team surged up the leader board to a fourth place finish.
Ramachandran had a team-high six birdies on Sunday to move up the individual leader board and finish in an 11th place tie. In all, he recorded his second career sub-par tournament with a 3-under-par, 71-71-68-210.
As a team, the Pirates saved their top team round for Sunday. The Hall shaved six strokes off their second round score, settling with a 5-under-par, 279. They were able to hop three teams in the final standings, including BIG EAST rival Georgetown. For the tournament, the Pirates finished 2-under-par with a 286-285-279-850. Yale won the team title going away at 23-under-par. The Hoyas finished four strokes behind Seton Hall at 2-over-par.
One of the players tied with Ramachandran for 11th place overall was teammate Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England). The sophomore shot an even-par, 71, in round three, and finished the three-round event with a 3-under-par, 68-71-71-210. It's Tait's second straight sub-par tournament and the third of his career. He was also 3-under-par last week at the Redhawk Invitational in Seattle.
Both Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) and Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) shot a 1-under-par, 70, in round three. Nagai was 2-under-par through 12 holes without a blemish, while Acevedo turned it on late, shooting 4-under-par over his last 12 holes. Both Pirates tied for 26th overall at 3-over-par. Nagai was two strokes better each day, 74-72-70-216, while Acevedo had a 75-71-70-216.
Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) also had a strong finish to his final round. The senior was 2-under-par on the back nine and finished the round with a 2-over-par, 73. For the tournament, he tied for 34th place with a 5-over-par, 73-72-73-218.
Competing as an individual, Peter Tyler Po (Nasipit Cebu City, Philippines) shot a 9-over-par, 80, in the final round. For the tournament, he finished 20-over-par with a 78-75-80-233.

With a fine and experienced PGA staff, the club hosts numerous tournaments, collegiate matches, clinics and golf outings every year.
