5/26/2017 11:05:00 AM | Men's Golf
Lloyd Jefferson Go wasn't at his graduation from Seton Hall last Monday, not because he couldn't cut it academically, but because he was still writing the script as the greatest Seton Hall golfer ever. Â The Philippine native graduated with a grade point average north of 3.50 in Accounting and Finance, but was busy playing in the first round of the 2017 NCAA West Lafayette Regional in Indiana.
Â
Go set another program first just being at the prestigious, national event, despite being at the NCAA Regionals for a second straight year. Whereas last spring, he became the first Seton Hall golfer to play in an NCAA Regional, this year he became the first to be selected to the Regional with an at large bid. In 2016, he received an automatic bid to the Regional by virtue of winning the BIG EAST Individual Championship. This year's appearance was based on his overall record of excellence throughout the 2016-17 campaign.
Â
Go's presence at the 2017 NCAA Regionals capped arguably the greatest career in Seton Hall golf history. No golfer is more decorated, has set more records or has shot lower scores. Go is Seton Hall's first two-time BIG EAST Men's Golf Player of the Year, and the only Pirate, male or female, to be named Seton Hall's Athlete of the Year all four years… freshman, sophomore, junior and senior.
Â
He is one of only three Pirates in history to win the BIG EAST individual championship. The other two, Eugene Smith (2000) and Mike Costigan (1996), are both members of the Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Fame.
Â
Go's record-setting performances have been numerous over the last four years. His name is littered throughout the Pirates record books. To get a full appreciation for his greatness, take a look at a few of his records…
