Yeom, Chalk Fuel Pirates' First Round at Princeton
4/6/2018 7:21:00 PM | Men's Golf
PRINCETON, N.J. – Junior Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) fired a 3-under-par, 68, in the opening round of the 2018 Princeton Invitational and has the Seton Hall men's golf team tied for third place entering Saturday's final round.
Yeom continued his dominant junior year with four birdies and 13 pars in round one for his sixth sub-par round in 10 rounds this spring. He is currently tied for second place among 69 individual golfers, and is only two strokes behind the leader, Cornell's Mike Graboyes.
Collectively, the Pirates are in prime position to repeat as Princeton Invitational champions. The Hall trails Cornell and Pennsylvania by only one stroke entering round two. The Pirates shot an even-par, 284, today.
Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) is also vying for the individual title. The sophomore fired a 1-under-par, 70, in round one, and is currently tied for fifth place overall. It's Chalk's ninth career round under par. Like Yeom, he only had one blemish on his round, recording two birdies and 15 pars.
Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) led the Pirates with five birdies, but had double-bogeys on back-to-back holes to limit his round. Currently, he's tied for 22nd place with a 2-over-par, 73. One of the players tied with Tait is classmate Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas), who also shot a 2-over-par, 73.
Senior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) rounded out the Pirates scoring on Friday with a 5-over-par, 76.

Course: Springdale Golf Club
Course Vitals: Par-71, 6,415 yards
Dates: April 6-7, 2018
The Course:
Dating back to 1895, Springdale Golf Club is one of the oldest in New Jersey. Designed by Gerard Lambert and revised by William Flynn in 1926, the walkable course requires precision shot-making and has superior conditions and playability. The property, which was originally private farmland, was purchased by the Class of 1886 and gifted to Princeton University with the expectation of establishing one of the first courses in the region. The private club has a close relationship with the University, and counts many university professors, administrators and students among its members. With a fine and experienced PGA staff, the club hosts numerous tournaments, collegiate matches, clinics and golf outings every year.
The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Princeton, the field includes 11 other schools: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, Harvard, Loyola (Md.), Penn, Rider, Saint Joseph's, Temple and Yale.
Tee Times:
The tournament will begin with one round on Friday, beginning at 12:30 p.m. There will be one round on Saturday as well, with tee times scheduled for both days. The tee times are currently TBD.
Results:
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament via Golfstat.com. Complete results of each day's events will also be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.
