LA JOLLA, Calif. – Beau Hossler is set to make his first pro start on the PGA Tour this week after undergoing shoulder surgery last summer.
Hossler, the reigning NCAA Player of the Year, tore the labrum in his left shoulder at last year’s NCAA Championship. He began to hit balls again in October, and the only competition he’s had in the past six months was the TaylorMade Pebble Beach Invitational and a pair of mini-tour events on the Adams Pro Tour (one of which he won, on Dec. 9).
“I feel great now. I feel 100 percent,” he said Tuesday at Torrey Pines.
