PORTLAND, Ore. — After delivering a record-tying, career-best performance at the RJGA Palm Valley Classic, Montana State University Billings men's golfer Bowdie Fox has been named Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
 
Fox turned in the best 54-hole performance of his career (207), which ties as the fourth-lowest individual score in program history. His standout showing helped lead the Yellowjackets to a 13th-place finish with a team score of 857 (283-292-282), also tying for the fourth-best 54-hole team total in program history.
 
Fox was the conference's top performer at last over the week, tying for eighth place individually among a field of 108 players, including four GNAC teams. Fox carded a three-round score of 9-under-par 207 (68-69-70) in what was his best performance of 2025-26 to date. Fox's stellar opening round featured an eagle on the par-5, 525-yard 14th hole to go along with three birdies and 13 pars. He shook off a double bogey on the first hole in round two, playing the rest of the round at 5-under-par on his way to a 69. Fox finished the event with three birdies and just one bogey his final time through the course. Overall he made 13 birdies across the 54-hole event. Fox lowered his season stroke average to 75.4, ranking him fourth on the team.
 
MSUB Head Coach Adam Buie: "Bowdie has been playing some strong and solid golf the last few weeks. He is one of the hardest-working players I have coached. His work is paying off because he is in a really good headspace right now, and he snagged a top 10 finish at the biggest field we have seen all year. I am very happy for him."
