First-round preview

Beau Hossler was a prodigy, twice playing in the US Open as a teenager, and at the age of 24 this great talent still has time to forge a successful PGA Tour career.

Hossler is yet to get off the mark on the professional circuit but this week's Puerto Rico Open at Coco Beach is an excellent opportunity, and he can be fancied to outscore Henrik Norlander over 72 holes.

Hossler, ninth in the Farmers Insurance Open last month, has much more potential for success than the Swedish plodder he is up against in this match.

Patrick Rodgers and Cameron Davis seem two of the most likely title candidates for Sunday, but they can be backed at 250-1 to finish first and second in either order after four rounds.
