By Chris Dunham, PGATOUR.COM Spencer Levin has been close
before. He tied for 4th at the AT&T Pebble Beach National
Pro-Am this year, lost the Mayakoba golf classic in a playoff, and
faded with a final-round 76 in the final group on Sunday at the
Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard. The 27-year old
had seven top 10s in the last two years but is still in search of
his maiden victory on the PGA TOUR. After Saturday’s 7-under
64, he’s just three back in what is setting up to be a great
Sunday shootout in Las Vegas.

“It would be nice to get a win,” Levin said.
“I know I'm going to have to shoot a really low score, but
I'm in good shape. I’ve got a chance tomorrow. I'll have to
play really good, but obviously a win would be nice. It would be
nice to get to the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in
Hawaii.” Levin, who has carded at least five birdies in each
round this week, knows that solid start on Sunday’s opening
nine will put him in great position to break through with that
victory. “The Back 9 seems to be maybe a little more
score-able,” he said. “I think the key to this course
is getting off to a good start on the front nine because you know
you're going to have some birdie looks on the back.”
