Beau Hossler Searches For First PGA Tour Title
6 years agoBeau Hossler comes to Las Vegas in search of his first PGA Tour win. The west coast kid from Mission Viejo, California has been trending towards his first title over the past year but two second-place finishes during the 2018 season have kept him out of the winner's circle. During the 2012 U.S. Open, the now 23-year-old famously held the outright lead midway through the second round at Olympic Club in San Francisco before fading into a share of 29th place. Over Hossler's previous 50 rounds compared to the field, he ranks fourth in sand saves, fifth in strokes gained with his short game and 18th in birdies or better gained. The American's scoring potential mixed with his ability to prevent mistakes in the 102 bunkers scattered throughout the venue will give Hossler an opportunity to go extremely low if his putter cooperates. In the 80th-ranked players only other appearance in Las Vegas last season, he finished in a share of seventh place.
