HAMILTON, N.Y. – Junior Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) is 1-over-par after two rounds of the 2019 Alex Lagowitz Memorial and has lifted the Seton Hall men's golf team to a third place tie with 18 holes remaining.

Tait fired an even-par, 72, in the morning, and was only one stroke worse in the afternoon. Through two rounds, he is 1-over-par with a 72-73-145, and is tied for ninth place among 96 individual golfers. He trails the individual leader, Cornell's Charlie Dubiel, by five strokes with one round to go.

Collectively, The Hall is currently tied with Columbia for third place in the large 18-team field. The Pirates fired a 2-over-par, 290, in round one, and followed it up with a 9-over-par, 297, in the afternoon. For the tournament, they're 11-over-par with a 290-297-587, and trail the team leader, Cornell, by 11 strokes. Yale is currently in second place at 8-over-par.

The only other BIG EAST opponent in the field, Villanova, is tied for ninth, nine strokes behind the Pirates.

Junior Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) is currently tied for 16^th place overall with a 3-over-par, 74-73-147. In round two, he was 3-under-par through six holes after a trio of birdies, and settled for a 1-over-par, 73.

Sophomore Deven Ramachandran (San Rafael, Calif.) was consistent all day, firing a pair of 2-over-par, 74's. Ramachandran had a team-best 15 pars in round two. Currently, he's tied for 19^th place with a 4-over-par, 74-74-148.

Senior Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) and freshman Wenliang Xie (Zhaoquing, China) are tied for 31^st place with identical 5-over-par, 72-77-149 scores. The highlight of Chalk's even-par first round was an eagle on the par-5 No. 5 hole. Xie had 14 pars to fuel his first round.

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 includes 13 other schools: Army, Bucknell, Columbia, Connecticut, Cornell, Fairleigh Dickinson, Lafayette, Lafayette, Rhode Island, Rider, St. Bonaventure, Villanova and Yale.

Schedule:
The teams will play 36 continuous holes on Saturday, and one final round on Sunday.
