Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks advance to NCAA golf championship final

EUGENE, Ore. -- Beau Hossler injured his left shoulder and still managed to close out his match Tuesday to send top-seeded Texas into the NCAA championship final against Oregon.

Hossler first felt pain on a 4-iron on the 15th hole, and he winced coming down the stretch at Eugene Country Club. From a bunker short of the 17th green, he used a putter to get it on the green and then holed a 25-foot putt for a 2-and-1 victory over Andrew Levitt of Southern California.

Texas coach John Fields said he was not sure whether Hossler would be able to compete in Wednesday's final, but Hossler tweeted that he would be fine.
