It was the University of Texas junior's third win in the last five events. And the victory not only put Hossler in a prestigious group of Jones Cup winners - -- that includes PGA Tour winners Patrick Reed and Justin Thomas -- it also provided him with an exemption into the PGA Tour's RSM Classic this November.

While the international golf spotlight has been shining on another Californian, Bryson DeChambeau, Hossler is notching up quite a record of his own. The Mission Viejo Native is a total of 35-under par in his last fifteen rounds including the last three at the brutally-difficult Ocean Forest layout.

Hossler entered the round in a tie for the lead with Blair Hamilton and Will Grimmer.

After flying the green with a wedge on the first hole and failing to get up-and-down, Hossler recovered nicely -- hitting it close on the third and making birdie and grabbing another birdie on the par-3 5th, from 10 feet. The second of the two birdies resulted in a three shot swing over Grimmer, who made double bogey on the same hole.

Hossler finished the front nine with a birdie on No. 9, then holed lengthy birdie putts on Nos. 10 and 11 to all but seal the deal, especially given his closing record as of late. There was certainly plenty of golf left, but he handled the rest of the back nine with 6-straight pars and a bogey on the difficult 18th to finish at 2-under par for the tournament and win by the largest margin in his career, six strokes.

Hossler is one of the biggest names in amateur golf, winning the Western Amateur in 2014 and qualifying three times for the U.S. Open by age 20. He's already earned two medalist honors this season for the Longhorns at the Arizona Intercollegiate and Nike Invitational. And his confidence seems to be growing.

"I feel like I'm capable of winning every tournament I play in now," Hossler told Golfweek Magazine.

Runner-up Matthew NeSmith may have paid Hossler the ultimate compliment, especially after coming "oh so close" in yet another Jones Cup.

"I didn't see any way, unless I played really, really well today, that he would have lost," NeSmith said. "The other two co- leaders are very good players but are inexperienced in a position like this. Beau's a Walker Cupper, and if you try to pick his game apart, he just doesn't do anything bad."

NeSmith finished in a tie for second with Blair Hamilton at 4-over par 220. Giving the tournament an international flavor, Adrian Meronk of Poland and Matthias Schwab of Austria tied for fourth at 5-over 221.

And kudos to Taylor Funk, Hossler's teammate of Texas for posting the only round in the 60's (a first round leading 69) and hanging tough after a second round 79 to close with a 75 and T9 finish.

Two top Mid-Ams faired very well against a much younger field -- 2013 USA Walker Cupper Todd White was 14th while the No. 1 Mid-Am in the AmateurGolf.com Mid-Am Rankings, Scott Harvey, was T15.

With the victory, Hossler inched past Maverick McNealey to No. 2 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings, behind World No. 1 Bryson DeChambeau.

Hossler will tee it up next with his team at the John Burns Intercollegiate Feburary 17-19th in Kauai, Hawaii.
