Beau Hossler, 17, in contention

[truebluefan]

Beau Hossler should know better.

When you're 17 years old and playing the weekend at the U.S. Open, you don't rebound. You don't make bogeys early in the day, then come back to stay in contention. And you certainly don't lock up a late-afternoon tee time for the final round of the year's second major.

Yet that's exactly what the future Texas Longhorn did at The Olympic Club.

After each of the four bogeys he made Saturday, Hossler bounced back with a birdie each time, carding his second even-par 70 in three days. He stands at 3 over and is tied for eighth place.
