The 17-year-old shot even par 70 in Round 3 while Jordan Spieth bounced back with a 69
Beau Hossler, the 17-year-old high schooler from Southern California, shot an even-par 70 and remains just four shots off the pace set by leaders Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk. His 3-over mark after three rounds puts Hossler in a tie for eighth place.
Jordan Spieth, the University of Texas star, fired a 1-under 69 to move into a tie for 32nd at 7-over.
UCLA star and the world's No. 1 ranked amateur Patrick Cantlay shot a 1-over 71 and is two shots back of Spieth.
The story of the day for the amateur contingency at The Olympic Club, however, was focused around Hossler.
Hossler withstood the pressure of Day 3 at the U.S. Open to shoot a sound 70, which included four bogeys and four birdies. His ability to bounce back from missed opportunities on holes he made bogey kept him in contention. Each of Hossler's four birdies came after a bogey.
