The top Pirate finisher for the tournament was Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines), who was only 1-over-par on Monday. The sophomore finished the tournament tied for seventh with an even-par, 69-70-71-210. It's Nagai's third career top-10 finish.

The Course:
Milwaukee Country Club was formed in 1894 and the original course opened in 1896. In 1911, the club moved to its present site in River Hills. In 1929, the existing course, designed by Harry Colt and Charles Alison, opened. In 1974, Robert Trent Jones Sr. served as a consultant for minor revisions to the course.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Marquette, the small, but very talented field was comprised of eight other teams including: Liberty, Mississippi, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Southern Methodist, UCLA, Valparaiso and Wisconsin. Individuals from Marquette and Wisconsin comprised a "B" team for their respective institutions as well.

Up Next:
The Pirates will return to the links on Monday, October 10 for the first two of three rounds of golf at the Mountaineer Intercollegiate in Bridgeport, W.Va.
