GOODYEAR, ARIZ. – Sophomore Jack Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) fired a career-best, 5-under-par, 67, to help push the Seton Hall men's golf team up two spots in the team standings after two rounds at the Loyola Intercollegiate on Monday.
Bosworth had only one blemish on an otherwise brilliant round that included six birdies and 11 pars. He raced up the individual leader board and is currently tied for 10th place with a 6-under-par, 71-67-138. Bosworth's 5-under-par, 67, is the 14th in program history and is tied for 11th best single-round on a par-72 course in Seton Hall history.
As a team, The Hall climbed to fifth place after a historically good second round. The Pirates carded a 12-under-par, 276, as a team, which is the second-lowest par-72, single-round score ever for a Seton Hall team. Through 36 holes, Seton Hall is 14-under-par with a 286-276-562. North Dakota State is currently the team leader at 26-under-par.
Seton Hall's top individual after two rounds remains George Fricker (Woodbridge, England). The junior had another spectacular round, using four birdies and 13 pars in route to a 3-under-par, 69. Fricker is currently ninth overall in a field of 116 individual golfers through two rounds with a 7-under-par, 68-69-137.
Delaware's Arsit Areephun is currently the individual leader entering round three at 12-under-par.
All four Seton Hall individuals whose scores counted shot under par as Joshua Lee (Lantana, Texas) and Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) both shot a 2-under-par, 70, on Monday. Both players had five birdies and 10 pars in round two. Lee is tied for 42nd overall with a 1-under-par, 73-70-143, through two rounds. Xie is one stroke behind and tied for 49th place at even par with a 74-70-144.
Eli Shah (Newtown Square, Pa.) shaved three strokes off his first-round score and carded a 6-over-par, 78, in round two. Through 36 holes, the freshman is 15-over-par with an 81-78-159.
Competing as an individual, Isaiah Williams (Flemington, N.J.) turned in the best round of his young collegiate career. The freshman had four birdies and 12 pars in route to a 2-under-par, 70, for his first sub-par round. Through 36 holes, Williams is tied for 49th at even-par with a 74-70-144.
