SOUTH KENT, CONN. – Four Pirates shot even-par or better in the first round of the 2017 Hartford Hawks Invitational and led the Seton Hall men's golf team to a fourth place team standing. Round two was suspended due to darkness and will be continued Tuesday morning.
Sophomore Alex McAuley (Douglas, Isle of Man) and junior Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) both shot a 1-under-par, 71, and are tied for 12th place among 116 individual golfers. The strong opening effort is McAuley's first collegiate sub-par round.
Sophomore Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) and junior Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) are just one stroke behind their teammates after shooting an even-par, 72. They're tied for 22nd place overall after round one.
Collectively, the Pirates continued their recent dominance at Bull's Bridge Golf Club. The Pirates shot a 2-under-par, 286, in round one and trail third place Connecticut by just one stroke, and second place Towson by three strokes. UCF is the current team leader after a staggering 15-under-par, 273, in round one.
Freshman Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) rounded out the team scoring with an 8-over-par, 80.
Senior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia), competing as an individual is tied with teammates Chalk and Yeom for 22nd overall after shooting an even-par, 72. Freshman Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas), also an individual, fired a first round 4-over-par, 76.
Tournament Details:
2017 HARTFORD HAWKS INVITATIONAL
Host: University of Hartford
Location: South Kent, Conn.
Course: Bull's Bridge Golf Club
Course Vitals: Par-72, 6,992 yards
Dates: September 18-19, 2017
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 large field includes 18 other schools: Army, Boston College, Bryant, Central Florida, Connecticut, Fairfield, Fairleigh Dickinson, Fordham, Hofstra, Holy Cross, LIU-Brooklyn, Rhode Island, Rider, Sacred Heart, St. Francis (Pa.), Towson and Weber State. BIG EAST foe St. John's is also a member of the field.
Tee Times:
The field will continue the suspended second round starting at 8:00 a.m. A final 18 holes will be played immediately afterward.
Results:
Live scoring will be NOT be available during the tournament. Complete results of each day's events will be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.
