HAMILTON, N.Y. – Junior Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) fired an even-par, 72, in Sunday's final round of the 2017 Alex Lagowitz Memorial to lead the Seton Hall men's golf to a fourth place team finish.
Nagai was fueled by five birdies in round three and finished the tournament tied for 16h place with a 7-over-par, 75-76-72-223.
Overall, the Pirates climbed one spot to finish fourth in the 16-team standings. The Hall shot a 14-over-par, 302, in Sunday's final round to finish at 33-over-par for the tournament with a 292-303-302-897. North Dakota State won the team title at 20-over-par.
The top Pirate performer for the weekend was junior Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.), who tallied a 2-over-par, 74, on Sunday. Yeom had three birdies, but was plagued by a +3 on the par-4, 10th hole, the same hole that stymied Nagai in the first round yesterday. For the tournament, Yeom tied for fifth with a 3-over-par, 75-76-72-223. It's Yeom's first career top-5 finish.
Freshman Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) finished his first collegiate tournament tied for 22nd overall with a 10-over-par, 73-76-77-226.
Senior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) tied for 35th overall with a 13-over-par, 71-79-79-229, while freshman Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) rounded out the Pirates' team scoring with a 24-over-par, 81-79-80-240.
Sophomore Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) and Alex McAuley (Douglas, Isle of Man) each had strong tournaments while competing as individuals. McAuley was consistent throughout the tournament and finished with a career-best 7-over-par, 75-74-74-223, to tie for 16th overall. Chalk tied Tait for 22nd place with a 10-over-par, 78-69-79-226.
Tournament Details:
ALEX LAGOWITZ MEMORIAL
Host: Colgate University
Location: Hamilton, N.Y.
Course: Seven Oaks Golf Club
Course Vitals: Par-72, 6,834 yards
Dates: September 9-10, 2017
The Course:
Named for the ancestral home of the Colgate family, Seven Oaks Golf Club is nestled on the Colgate University Campus at the upper end of the Chenango Valley, in Hamilton, New York. In 1934, a young architect by the name of Robert Trent Jones was brought to Hamilton to begin work on designing the course as one of his first projects. Unfortunately, due to the great depression and WWII, the course and his plans were continuously postponed.
Jones was called back many times throughout the following years to redesign the course before a final version was accepted and it was not until 1956 that ground was broken on the first nine holes, officially opening on July 4th, 1958. Construction for the remainder of the course soon began and on September 4th, 1965 the last nine holes were opened for play.
Seven Oaks is characteristic of all Jones' courses, which include strategic deployment of water, along with extensive tee areas and large, expansive greens.
The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Colgate, the field included 12 other schools: Binghamton, Bucknell, Delaware, Fairleigh Dickinson, La Salle, Lafayette, Lehigh, North Dakota State, Pennsylvania, Rider, St. Bonaventure and St. Joseph's.
Up Next:
The Pirates will return to action next week when they play three rounds at the Hartford Hawks Invitational, September 18-19.
