Brian Kirschner said he is picking Beau Hossler at +7000 for first-round leader due to Hossler’s early Thursday tee time and track record of fast starts. Kirschner recalled Hossler achieving a first-round lead earlier this season on a Bermuda-heavy course.

Greg singled out Beau Hossler as another promising pick at Vidanta Vallarta, noting his strong showings at Torrey Pines and Sanderson Farms—venues that correlate well with the Mexico Open. Hossler’s length off the tee and comfort on wide fairways align with a course setup that penalizes inaccuracy less. Though he has not posted a top-10 finish since his runner-up at Sanderson Farms, Greg believes Hossler’s skill set could thrive in this birdie-friendly environment.

Brady Kannon said Beau Hossler should be a contender at the Mexico Open despite not having a top-10 finish in his last eight starts. Kannon pointed to Hossler’s runner-up showing at the Sanderson Farms Championship, which he views as a correlated course, along with Hosler’s sixth- and ninth-place results at Torrey Pines. Kannon considers Hosler to be one of the more talented players in this field and believes those prior strong finishes indicate a good fit for this event.

Geoff Fienberg may bet on Beau Hossler at long odds, feeling that this course suits him at that price.
