Seton Hall's 3-over-par, 291, reduces its deficit to 10 strokes entering round three.

BOWLING GREEN, FLA. – Junior Deven Ramachandran (San Rafeal, Calif.) and freshman Brody Hanley (Lantana, Texas) each shot an even-par, 72, to power the Seton Hall men's golf team in round two of the 2021 BIG EAST Championship at Streamsong Resort on Tuesday.

Ramachandran was three-over-par through the first seven holes, but was brilliant from then on. The junior was 3-under-par over his final 11 holes, which included a birdie on hole No. 13 and an eagle on No. 14. Entering Wednesday's final round, Ramachandran is in 20^th place at 4-over-par with a 76-72-148.

Hanley didn't participate in the first round of the BIG EAST Championship, but proved to be a major shot in the arm in round two. The Pirate newcomer had three birdies and was consistently even-par on both the front and back nines.

Collectively, the Pirates took a step forward on Tuesday, shaving five strokes off their first-round score to card a 3-over-par, 291. It was the second-best team round of the day, and enabled The Hall to climb one spot in the standings to fourth place. Through 36 holes, Seton Hall is 11-over-par with a 296-291-587.

Connecticut is the current team leader at 1-over-par. Marquette is in second at 3-over-par, and Butler is just one stroke ahead of the Pirates at 10-over-par.

Senior Gregor Tait (Martlesham Heath, England) shaved a stroke off his first-round score to finish with a 1-over-par, 73. Tait had a team-high four birdies on Tuesday, including his final of the day, the par-4, 18^th hole. Through two rounds, he is tied for 15^th place at 3-over-par with a 74-73-147.

Andres Acevedo (San Antonio, Texas) birdied his first two holes of the day in route to a 2-over-par, 74, on Tuesday. The senior is still the Pirates' top competitor for the Championship and is currently tied for seventh place among all golfers at even-par with a 70-74-144.

Butler's Michael Cascino remains the individual leader at 6-under-par.

Rounding out the Pirates' lineup on Tuesday was junior Peter Tyler Po (Nasipit Cebu City, Philippines), who logged his second consecutive 4-over-par, 76. Po was even-par through 11 holes, but struggled a bit down the stretch to finish at 4-over. For the tournament, he's 8-over-par with a 76-76-152.

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT:
It's a nine-team, 54-hole, stroke play Championship. Teams compete in groups of three. The event is conducted over four days with each team's five members playing a practice round of 18 holes on day one and one 18-hole round on days two, three and four.

THE RESORT:
Streamsong sits among the greatest golf destinations in the world with 3 top 100 courses and the highest-rated golf collection in all of Florida. Streamsong offers a golf experience like no other, in a setting that's like nothing you've ever seen. Thanks to seamless integration of indigenous and awe-inspiring terrain, Streamsong's three spectacular courses stretch across a landscape that belies their Central Florida locale. Instead of flatland, you'll find towering sand dunes and unexpected contours, without a distraction or intrusion insight. It's just you, your friends, and the game you love. The way golf was meant to be.

THE COURSE:
With its multiple elevation changes, fairways navigating wild grasses and deep-water ponds and huge bunkers that roll off of towering sand dunes, Streamsong Blue seems designed by discovery rather than by intention. Created by Renaissance Golf Design's renowned architect Tom Doak–who already has four designs ranked among the top 100 in the world–Streamsong Blue is equally destined for greatness. Streamsong Blue features spectacular terrain, with rises and falls in elevation, and contours that undulate offering some of the most stimulating holes in golf.

THE FIELD:
For the BIG EAST Championship, the field is limited to only the 10 men's golf teams of the conference. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 protocols, St. John's was forced to pull out of the Championship leaving only nine competing teams. This includes (in order of Golfstat ranking): Marquette (98), Connecticut (143), Creighton (186), Butler (199), Seton Hall (200), DePaul (217), Xavier (221), Villanova (229) and Georgetown (248).

FORMAT / TEE TIMES:
The field will play one round on each day with tee times beginning at 8:00 a.m. all three days. The Pirates will be paired with golfers from DePaul and Butler, teeing off at 8:50 a.m. for Monday's first round.

RESULTS:
