PALM CITY, FLA. – Senior Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) and sophomore Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) each fired a 1-over-par, 73, on Monday to lead the Seton Hall men's golf team in round two of the UNCG/Martin Downs Collegiate.

Nagai had two birdies and 13 pars to improve his score by two strokes from yesterday. Through two rounds, he is tied for 32nd place overall with a 4-over-par, 75-73-148. One of the players tied with Nagai is teammate Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.), who shot his second consecutive 2-over-par, 74, on Monday. Both Pirates are currently trailing the tournament's individual leader, VCU's Kristian Tannum Donaldson, by 14 strokes entering Tuesday's final round. Donaldson has a four-stroke lead on the field.

Acevedo birdied hole No. 3 and had a team-best 15 pars in route to a 1-over-par, 73, on Monday. He improved eight strokes from round one to round two, and is now tied for 58th place at 10-over-par with an 81-73-154.

Collectively, the Pirates vastly improved on Monday, shaving 15 strokes off their team score. Unfortunately however, the rest of the field was better as well. The Hall shot a 7-over-par, 295, on Monday, and are currently in 11th place at 29-over-par for the tournament with a 310-295-605. Host UNCG is the team leader at 10-under-par entering Tuesday's final round. The lone other BIG EAST school in the field, Villanova, currently trails the Pirates by 13 strokes.

The top individual Pirate through two rounds continues to be freshman Peter Tyler Po (Nasipit Cebu City, Philippines), but he is participating as an individual. After a career-best even-par, 72, yesterday, Po shot a 3-over-par, 75, in round two. For the tournament, he is tied for 29th place with a 3-over-par, 72-75-147.

Rounding out the Pirates' lineup, both Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) and freshman Deven Ramachandran (San Rafael, Calif.) were 3-over-par with a 75 in round two.

Tait had an up-and-down round, highlighted by a pair of eagles, but also three holes that were at least double-bogeys. The sophomore eagled par-5 holes No. 13 and No. 17 to fuel his round, and improve five shots from yesterday. For the tournament, Tait is 11-over-par with an 80-75-155.

Ramachandran also improved mightily, shaving eight strokes off his first round score. He had two birdies and 12 pars to boost his round. Through two rounds, he is 14-over-par with an 83-75-158.

In addition to Po, junior Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) is also competing as an individual. Chalk improved four strokes in the second round, thanks to a team-best five birdies, to finish with a 1-over-par, 73. For the tournament, he is tied for 41st place with a 6-over-par, 77-73-150.
