MINOT, N.D. – Next on the countdown, we head to the golf course where graduate student
Jace Carlisle played himself into the record books in the latest top moment.
No. 7 on Buckshot's Best of 2025 is the 3-day performance by Jace Carlisle at the NSIC Men's Golf Championship as Carlisle shot a school-record 7-under 65 and finished 4th, earning NSIC All-Tournament Team honors.
A transfer from Post University (Conn.) where he earned his degree in Sports Management, Carlisle played just the 2024-25 season with the Beavers but was one of the team leaders as Minot State headed to the NSIC Men's Golf Championships in mid-April in Missouri.
During the season, he fired a low round of 68 at the Sioux Falls Invitational in October, where he also tied for 4
th place, his best finish heading into the championships.
On the opening day at the Adams Pointe Golf Club, Carlisle started off slow, carding a 7-over 79 to sit tied for 26
th, but one day later he'd write his name into the NSIC and Beaver record books.
Playing a bogey-free round, Carlisle broke the NSIC Tournament single-round record as he shot a 7-under 65 in Friday's second round, charging up the leaderboard into a tie for 4
th heading into Saturday's final 18 holes.
The 65 was also a single-round Minot State school record low round for Carlisle.
Not letting up a bit, Carlisle finished with a 3-under 69 in Saturday's final round to take 4
th place at 3-under 213, which tied him for the 54-hole school record with Karson O'Keefe.
Carlisle's play helped Minot State finish 7
th as a team in the Championship, and his 4
th-place finish made him the 6
th Beaver men's golfer to earn NSIC All-Tournament Team honors with a top 5 finish at the NSIC Championships.
