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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.

Next Up
The Utes will head west into familiar territory next week for the Oregon State Collegiate which takes place in Corvallis, Ore. on Oct. 9-10.
