Utah led the field in par-3 scoring (along with Middle Tennessee State), ranked third in par-4 scoring and second in par-5 scoring. The Utes also tied Georgia Southern for the most birdies in the field with 55.

The Utes got balanced production throughout their order, with four top-15 finishers: Braxton Watts (T5), Brandon Robison (T7), Sergio Jimenez (T9), and Davis Johnson (T13).

“It’s not easy to travel across the country and play on Bermuda grass, which is way different than what we typically play on,” head coach Garrett Clegg told Utah Athletics. “It’s hard to compete, let alone win. I’m just so proud of the way they played and the way they competed… The boys were awesome, and it was fun to be a part of.”

Individually, Florida players dominated the top of the leaderboard. Sophomore Luke Poulter, son of professional golfer Ian Poulter, captured his first collegiate victory with rounds of 67-69-72 to finish at 8 under, one shot ahead of teammate Ian Gilligan.

Gilligan is ranked No. 4 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings and closed with a 4-under 68 to finish solo second at 7 under with rounds of 69-72-68.

Notre Dame’s Jacob Modleski and Georgia Southern’s Parker Claxton finished T3 at 6-under, while Braxton Watts and Georgia Southern’s Hogan Ingram shared fifth at 5 under.

The Utes will look to keep the momentum going at The Goodwin, held March 27-29 at Stanford Golf Course in Stanford, Calif.
