LIVE SCORING

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. – Freshman Jace Hulett (Boerne, Texas) had an even-par, 72, in round two to lead the Seton Hall men's golf team to a 10^th place tie at the darkness-shortened FAU Golf Invitational on Tuesday.

Hulett had three birdies and 12 pars to power his final round. For the tournament, he tied for 32^nd place with a 1-over-par, 73-72-145.

Originally scheduled for 54 holes, the event was shortened to 36 holes after the first day of competition was unable to be completed due to darkness. The field completed its second round this morning and round three was canceled.

As a team, The Hall shot a 9-over-par, 297, in round two. For the tournament, the Pirates tied Troy University with a 9-over-par, 288-297-585, for 10^th place. Tarleton State won the team title at 18-under-par. Seton Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, Creighton, finished in a tie for 12^th place, just one stroke behind the Pirates.

The top Seton Hall golfer for the weekend was again Eli Shah (Newtown Square, Pa.), who has quickly cemented himself as a staple in the team's lineup. The junior had five birdies in round two to fuel a 1-over-par, 73. For the tournament, he tied for 14^th place among 88 individual golfers with a 2-under-par, 69-73-142.

It's Shah's third consecutive sub-par tournament in five events this fall. He drops his scoring average to a minuscule 71.36.

Senior David Lally (Wicklow, Ireland) had three birdies in round two on his way to a 3-over-par, 75. For the tournament, he tied for 25^th place with an even-par, 69-75-144.

Graduate student George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) shot his second-consecutive 5-over-par, 77, in round two. For the event, he was 10-over-par with a 77-77-154.

Sophomore Will Hennessee (Tulsa, Okla.) rounded out the Pirates' lineup with a 14-over-par, 78-80-158.

THE COURSE:
The Panther National championship golf course—designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas making his design debut—features steep elevation changes and dramatic vistas. The 18-hole course can play 8,000 yards from the longest tees all the way down to 4,500 yards. This rare diversity in length allows the picturesque course to be a "major tournament" test for the expert golfer while always presenting a very playable, enjoyable course for all members.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Florida Atlantic, the large field includes 17 other schools: Abilene Christian, Campbell, Central Florida, Florida, Jacksonville, Jacksonville State, Navy, North Alabama, Samford, Stetson, Tarleton State, Troy, USF and West Georgia. BIG EAST competitor Creighton is also in the field.

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

THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play two continuous rounds on Monday beginning with tee times that start at 7:30 a.m. The Pirates will be paired with golfers from Jacksonville, Navy and Samford for rounds one and two, teeing off on hole No. 10. A final round will also begin with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

THE RESULTS:
This will conclude the 2025 fall season for Seton Hall. The Pirates will return to action when the spring season begins with three-rounds of golf at the Loyola Intercollegiate, Feb. 15-17, in Goodyear, Ariz.
