NEW YORK, N.Y. – Senior Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) was named BIG EAST Men's Golf Player of the Year for a second time on Thursday.
Go becomes the first two-time Player of the Year in Seton Hall men's golf history and the first BIG EAST player to repeat since Notre Dame's Max Scodro in 2012.
Go is capping his extraordinary collegiate career with arguably the greatest single-year effort in Seton Hall history. Named BIG EAST Golfer of the Week three times this year, he currently maintains a 70.82 stroke average, which is the lowest for a single-year in program history. Most recently, Go tied as the runner-up at the 2017 BIG EAST Championship and led the conference in stroke average this year. In 10 tournaments in 2016-17, he recorded eight top-10 finishes and seven top-5 finishes.
Go had five tournaments in which he shot under-par and 16 sub-par rounds this year. Among those tournaments, he broke the Seton Hall par-72, three-round score with an 11-under-par, 205, at the Loyola Intercollegiate, and the par-72, two-round score with a 6-under-par, 138, at the Hartford Hawks Invitational. Go's 7-under-par, 203, at The Doc Gimmler set the Pirates' record for lowest par-70, three-round score. He also recorded his third career victory with a 9-under-par, 204, at the Princeton Invitational this spring.
Last week, Go was selected to compete at the NCAA West Lafayette Regional. It is the second straight year he has played in the NCAA's marquee event. Last year, he was an automatic selection after winning the 2016 BIG EAST individual title. This year, he was chosen with an at large bid based on his success throughout the 2016-17 year.
