NEW YORK, N.Y. - Freshman Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) was named BIG EAST Men's Golfer of the Week on Wednesday.
Go led Seton Hall's superb final round at the Princeton Invitational with a 3-under-par, 68. He finished tied for sixth place among 78 individual golfers with a 3-under-par, 72-70-68-210 for the three-round tournament. Go's performance is the third time this year he has completed a tournament under par, which ties him for the fourth-most in Seton Hall history despite not having yet finished his freshman year. Only Eugene Smith (nine), Kyle Morris (six) and Mike Costigan (four) have recorded more career sub-par tournaments, and two of which, Smith and Costigan, are Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famers.
Go completed a historic fall season for the Pirates on Oct. 21, notching his second sub-par tournament of the fall with a 5-under-par, 69-70-139, to place third among 75 individual golfers at the Barnabas Health Intercollegiate. His tournament score of 139 tied Eugene Smith for the lowest two-round, par-72 score in Pirates history. Furthermore, his 5-under-par score tied for the third-lowest against par in history. Go also became only the 10th golfer in Seton Hall history to record multiple sub-par tournaments in a career. He shot 1-under-par at The Doc Gimmler earlier this fall.
Go has been Seton Hall's low scorer in seven of his first eight career tournaments.
