Beau Hossler: I Can Win!
/
Nick Masuda on a confident Beau Hossler, the 17-year-old amateur who posted a 70 Saturday and sits just four back of leaders McDowell and Furyk heading into the 112th U.S. Open final round.
"Absolutely. There's not a doubt in my mind. Got to go out there and do everything right mentally and physically, but it's definitely out there for me," said Hossler, ranked No. 3 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Junior Rankings.
Hossler tees off at 2:20 with Jason Dufner.

**Lynn DeBruin was there after Hossler's round and notes that even Steiny thinks Hossler has a chance to win.
Somewhere along The Olympic Club's tight, twisting fairways, 17-year-old Beau Hossler went from thinking he could be the low amateur to believing he could win the whole tournament.
Apparently he wasn't the only one.
Tiger Woods' agent approached Hossler's dad outside the scorer's room late Saturday afternoon, shook his hand and said, “This is unbelievable. He can win this thing.”
