Quirarte netted his best finish as a collegian, ending the Pioneer Classic in fourth place.  After shooting a 6-under-par 138 total with an opening-round 71 and a 67 in round two, Quirarte closed with an even-par 72 for a 210 mark.  Quirarte's 210-stroke total was the lowest of any Big Ten golfer this past week.  The Queretaro, Mexico, native also recorded season-best 18-, 36- and 54-hole scores in the event.

This is the first career Golfer of the Week selection for the Hoosier freshman.  He is the first Indiana golfer to win the award since Jeff Overton captured three consecutive weekly accolades from April 20-May 5, 2004.
