The fourth and final round of the 2012 U.S. Open is well underway on Sunday at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. The day has turned foggy and windy, but the course remains just as diabolical as it has been all week. Tiger Woods is falling further and further off the pace as his day progresses. Through Woods’s first five holes, he’s already at 5-over for the day.

Tiger was over par on four of his first five holes and fell victim once again to the tough front six at Olympic Club. Now at 9-over, Woods is well out of contention for his fourth career title.

Amateur Beau Hossler is continuing his impressive run. Hossler bogeyed on his third hole and is tied for 12th place at 4-over through three. Co-leaders Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell have yet to tee off.

Fans can follow along with the action at The Olympic Club with the 2012 U.S. Open leaderboard from USOpen.com.
