PRINCETON, N.J. – Sophomore Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) is 3-under-par through two rounds and has guided the Seton Hall men's golf team to a seventh place standing at the Princeton Invitational entering Sunday's final round.

Through two rounds, Tait is tied for eighth place with a 3-under-par, 68-71-139, and trails a trio of individual leaders by five strokes with 18 holes remaining.
As a team, the Pirates fired a 2-over-par, 286, in round one, and shaved a point off that score in round two. Entering Sunday's final round, The Hall is 3-over-par with a 286-285-571, and trails the team leader, Yale, by 22 strokes. Seton Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, Georgetown, is only three strokes ahead of the Pirates at even-par.
Deven Ramachandran (San Rafael, Calif.) has been a par machine, compiling 25 pars through the first two rounds. On Saturday, the freshman shot a consistent, 71-71-142, and is tied for 21st place.
Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) has been a par machine, recording 31 pars over a possible 36 holes through the first two rounds. On Saturday, he shot a 3-over-par, 73-72-145 and is currently tied for 37th.
Only one stroke behind Yeom reside classmate Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) and sophomore Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas). Nagai is 4-over-par with a 74-72-146 entering Sunday's final round. Acevedo was 4-over-par, 75, in the morning, but shaved four strokes off his score in the afternoon. Through two rounds, he is 4-over-par with a 75-71-146
