SOUTH KENT, CONN. – Senior Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) shot a second consecutive 3-under-par, 69, as the Seton Hall men's golf team finished third at the Hartford Hawks Invitational on Tuesday.

Go finished his round with an eagle to place fourth among 107 golfers with a 6-under-par, 69-69-138. He finished four shots behind Central Florida's Donnie Trosper for the individual title. Go's 138 is the lowest par-72 two-round score in Seton Hall history. It's also his record-breaking 10^th sub-par tournament of his career, edging Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer Eugene Smith who graduated with nine.

Collectively, the Pirates were only one shot worse in round two, finishing with a 5-under-par, 283. Seton Hall ended the tournament at 11-under-par with a 282-283-565, four strokes behind Central Florida for second place and seven shots behind the team champion Cal Poly. St. John's, the Pirates' lone BIG EAST competition in the field, finished seventh, 20 shots behind The Hall.

For a second straight week to start the fall season, the Pirates were assaulting their own record book. Seton Hall's 565 is the lowest par-72 two-round score in team history, besting the prior record by seven strokes set at the Liberty-Seatrail Fall Golf Classic on Sept. 29, 1998.

Two other Pirates joined Go with top-10 finishes. Both Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) and freshman Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) tied for seventh with identical scores. Both golfers shot a 2-under-par, 70, in both rounds to finish at 4-under-par with a 70-70-140. It's Nagai's second straight sub-par tournament to start the season.

Sophomore Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) shot a 3-over-par, 74, on Tuesday. For the tournament, he finished tied for 34^th with a 3-over-par, 73-74-147.

Junior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) rounded out the Pirates' team scoring for the tournament with a 12-over-par, 74-82-156.

Competing as an individual, senior Kevin O'Brien (Wexford, Pa.) finished two strokes behind Yip with a 14-over-par, 76-82-158.

The Course:
Nestled in northwestern Connecticut's scenic Litchfield County, Bull's Bridge Golf Club offers a truly unique golf experience. The Berkshire foothills provide an impressive panorama with spectacular views prominent throughout the property. The 18 hole, championship golf course was opened in 2004, and it has quickly commanded the attention of the golf community. Designed by Tom Fazio, one of America's greatest living golf architects, the par-72 layout exemplifies his trademark design versatility. With four sets of tees, two hybrid course layouts and yardages ranging from 5,300 to 7,000 yards, the course simultaneously appeals to and challenges players of all skill levels. While Travel + Leisure Golf rated it one of America's Best New Private Courses in 2004, the course already exhibits a maturity and presentation level well beyond its years.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Hartford, the field was comprised of 17 other teams including: Bethune-Cookman, Bryant, Cal Poly, Central Florida, Connecticut, Fairfield, Fairleigh Dickinson, Fordham, Hofstra, Holy Cross, LIU-Brooklyn, Rhode Island, Rider, Sacred Heart, Sam Houston State, St. John's and Towson.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to the links on Sunday, October 2 for the first two of three rounds of golf at the Marquette Intercollegiate in Milwaukee, Wis.
