BRIDGEPORT, W.VA. – Junior Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) turned in a career-best 3-under-par performance to lead the Seton Hall men's golf team to a 10th place finish at The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational on Tuesday.
Yeom finished a strong second round today, before beginning his third round. The result was a pair of 2-under-par, 70's, the eighth and ninth sub-par rounds of his collegiate career. Yeom's final round featured a bogey on the 11th hole, but birdies on holes No. 6, No. 12 and No. 18. He finished the tournament tied for third among 84 individual golfers with a 3-under-par, 73-70-70-213. Marshall's Alex Weiss won the individual title at 8-under-par.
The performance is Yeom's second straight sub-par tournament, sixth career top-10 finish and second career top-5 effort.
Collectively, the Pirates shaved 10 strokes off their first round score in round two, but gave five back in round three. The Hall finished 10th in the talented 16-team field with a 24-over-par, 301-291-296-888. Bowling Green State won the team title at even-par. There were no other BIG EAST Conference competitors in the field.
Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) turned in the best performance of his young career this tournament. The freshman finished his second round with a career-best 3-under-par, 69. He followed it up with a 1-over-par, 73, in round three. Tait finished the three-round event tied for 27th with a career-best 5-over-par, 79-69-73-221.
Junior Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) was consistent throughout the tournament. This morning he closed out a second round 73 before shooting a 3-over-par, 75, in round three. For the tournament, Nagai tied for 37th place with a 6-over-par, 74-73-756-222, just one stroke behind Tait.
Senior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) finished up his tournament with an 18-over-par, 76-79-79-234, while sophomore Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) recorded a 28-over-par, 78-88-78-244.
