Barcos collects sixth top five finish of Utah career

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Javier Barcos notched the sixth top five finish of his collegiate career by grabbing a share of fifth and carding score of 1-under on Monday for the University of Utah men's golf team, which concluded the Fighting Irish Classic with 18 holes at the Warren Golf Course in South Bend, Ind.

Barcos continued his hot start to the tournament with another score below par, his second in three rounds in Indiana. The senior from Spain began day two with a pair of birdies and six pars on the back nine and remained steady during the final half of his round, including adding another birdie on the par-4 first to finish with a 1-under 69.

For the tournament, Barcos was 3-under and his score of 207 matches the best 54-hole mark any Ute through three tournaments in 2023-24. Additionally, this is the ninth top-10 finish for the senior as a Ute. Barcos has now completed nine rounds at the Fighting Irish Classic dating back to the 2021-22 season with seven rounds finishing below par and one even round.

Sergio Jimenez concluded the competition in a tie for 57th at 12-over, while Braxton Watts placed 66th. Go Nakatsukasa finished even with five other golfers in 71st and Brandon Robison tied for 79th. Utah's team score of 35-over put them 14th.
