Hossler receives unusual relief after child steps on his lie
Summary

Beau Hossler, the 54-hole leader at the Wyndham Championship, experienced an unusual incident on Saturday when a toddler stepped into his lie as play was temporarily halted due to incoming storms. After the child tripped and inadvertently stepped in the area where Hossler’s ball had been, he sought counsel from a rules official. Following a brief discussion, Hossler was granted relief and moved his ball inches away to a better position. He then proceeded to hit a solid approach shot, aiming for his first PGA Tour victory as play continues at the tournament.
