The junior shot a 4-under-par, 68, and is only one stroke off the individual lead.

HAMILTON, N.Y. – Junior David Lally (Wicklow, Ireland) fired a 4-under-par, 68, on Saturday to lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a third-place team standing after round one at the 2024 Alex Lagowitz Memorial.

Originally scheduled for three rounds, the tournament has been shortened to two rounds due to Saturday's rain. The field was able to get in 18 holes today, and with sunny skies in the forecast for tomorrow, it will then play a final 18.

Lally was brilliant on Saturday, using seven birdies to fuel a 4-under-par, 68, which currently places him tied for third place among 100 individual golfers. Colgate's Robbie Herzig and Villanova's Ryan Pamer currently share the individual lead, only one stroke ahead of Lally.

As a team, The Hall is tied for third place with host Colgate after a 3-over-par, 291, in round one. Navy and Yale are currently tied for the team lead, only two strokes ahead of Seton Hall. The Pirates' lone BIG EAST competition, Villanova, is in fifth place, only one stroke behind The Hall.

Sophomore Isaiah Williams (Flemington, N.J.) and senior Joshua Lee (Lantana, Texas) are currently tied for 20^th place overall after a 2-over-par, 74, on Saturday. Williams had three birdies and 11 pars, while Lee had three birdies and 10 pars.

Sophomore Eli Shah (Newtown Square, Pa.) and George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) shot a 3-over-par, 75, and are tied for 36^th place.

Senior Patrick Kahanek (San Antonio, Texas) rounded out the Pirates' lineup with a 5-over-par, 77.

The Hall also brought four additional golfers to Hamilton, N.Y. to compete as individuals.

Junior Jack Bosworth (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) had the second-best round of the day for any Pirate. He's currently tied for 11^th place after riding three birdies and 12 pars to an even-par, 72.

Senior Angus O'Brien (Barwon Heads, Australia) and freshman Will Hennessee (Tulsa, Okla.) are tied with Williams and Lee after also shooting a 2-over-par, 74.

Freshman Luke Nolan (Austin, Texas) shot an 8-over-par, 80, in his first collegiate 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: Binghamton, Bucknell, Canisius, Cornell, Iona, Lehigh, Le Moyne, Navy, Niagara, Pennsylvania, St. Bonaventure, and Yale. Fellow BIG EAST opponent, Villanova, is also in the field.

THE FORMAT:
Teams will play six golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.

THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play 36 continuous holes on Saturday, and one final round on Sunday. Both days will begin with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m.

THE RESULTS:
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament via Scoreboard.Clippd.com. Complete results of each day's events will also be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.
