[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is a whirlwind for Bo Hosler (USA), ranked 404th in the world.

On the 6th (Korean time), at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72, 6,972 yards) in Pebble Beach, California, USA, continuing the third day of the PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (total prize money $8.7 million), he posted 7-under par to take the top spot on the leaderboard (15-under par 200). Tom Hoge and Andrew Putnam joined him in a tie for first place, while 'PO champ' Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth (both USA) are in a tie for fourth place (14-under par 201), chasing closely.

The tournament rotates through three courses including Spyglass Hill (par 72, 7,041 yards) and Monterey Peninsula Golf Course (par 71, 6,957 yards) along with Pebble Beach Golf Links, where the winner is decided again on the final day. Hosler collected one eagle and five birdies. After reducing three strokes in the front nine with a birdie on the 2nd hole and an eagle on the 6th hole (both par 5s), he added 'two pairs of consecutive birdies' on holes 13-14 and 17-18 in the back nine.
