Beau Hossler’s bid for a rare weekend 59 ended in a 61, but it wasn’t enough to get the former Texas Longhorn out of the shadow of sponsor invite Tom Bryan at the Puntacana Resort and Club Championship.

Bryan, who birdied six of the first seven holes he played on Thursday, resumed in similar fashion Friday, birdieing No. 12 to move to 12 under and increase his lead to three on tour rookie Scott Stallings.
