this is the "watch spencer levin implode thread"

Frazar chasing too,he looked mentally strong when getting the better of Robert Karlsson at some tourney last year............i remember it well as was on Karlsson

I think its good having fraser where he is but think the pack will be 3 off the lead after tonights round and there will be quite a few within 3 or 4 shots for the final round.

.....

not every one was a twitchy f-cker with a dodgy swing though .

he looked like a shaking dog when he was walking up 18 yesterday.

imo he is lay of the millenium on the win, top 5 and even get greedy on the top 10 markets.

was that before or after he hit inside 10ft.

Levin certainly has a temper but is no mug. He has had a few good tournaments in the last 12 months.

5 shots is a good lead but this is a course where big swings can take place. Another good tournament for Huh second tournament and he finds himself in the final three ball again on the weekend.

cast your minds back 1 week when perhaps a future multiple winner Kyle Stanley only needed a double bogey on the last to win.
  5 shots over 36 holes is nothing on this course.

Agree there is a long way to go but he has a nice cushion. His odds are fair at the moment

He was a small green for me but now a red. I do think at only half way somebody will shoot 63 today and somebody will get close to him. I am sure his odds will get bigger at some point.

My guesses would be Kyle Stanley and Bill Haas both have the game for this course

I have laid at 2.58 for the record

ANY1 got a link? was watching on my laptop but no red button, thanks alot sky

vettle.com usually has it

na not on there, cant find it any where

good start by levin another runaway train.

Come on Huh

Levin is a proven choker

It's hard to say a proven choker when he hasn't been in contention so many times. It's always gonna be tough at first.

I bet you would say Garrigus was a proven choker too.

they are all proven chokers until they get the job done

then they are just lucky, because they always choked in the past

He's choked twice before = proof

Really finding it tricky to get a link for this one! Any ideas?

it'll be  on

www.firstrowsports.eu


good luck with all the adverts

You'll have to highlight these particular chokes? I see he has been in contention numerous times but his final round scoring on those days was pretty impressive.

chokes ??? who said anything about choking.

me

fair?.....for the layers ??

No signs of an implosion yet. I think it's time for a Winner W/O Levin market.

if any one has any spare cream I would be greatful....goes lovely with humble pie.
   thought the field would close on him yesterday but being yanks they just seem to be playing for the 2nd place cheque.
  wouldnt back him at 1.35 if I wasnt involved already but have backed him and accept its a losing trade irrespective of tonights result.

yes looks like a small red for me, i too thought somebody would get alot closer to him, but he played very well, same again and he wins.

At least the win on Lawrie more than makes up for this

snap Eric
  backed him at 7+ when he was just starting the back 9 yesterday.

he was impressive this week...only 3 bogies and all on par 3s.

I was of the thinking that what happened to Stanley last week would be a big benefit to him. Would be fresh in the mind that crazy things happen in golf, and he would not have been getting ahead of himself and mentally would still be playing to win, as opposed to playing not to lose. When the latter mentality kicks in in any sport bad things tend to happen.

sort of thought along those lines myself therhino.
  if any of these none winners is ever facing the same scenario as Stanley and they have a 3 or 4 shot lead on the last where out of bounds or water figure, they would need to have the brains of a rocking horse if they didnt learn from stanleys mistake.
  no drivers...no firing at pins...play for bogey...job done.

how many shots clear is he ,please

4 at present

thanks chris how many holes to play

13

4 ahead of Crane,

5 ahead of Simpson, Huh,

30 minute break??????????!!! What the ****?

first time watching the golf is it?

Must be. I should be used to it but it really pi**** me off !!

This is the part where you watch the market and get your prayer mat out. A Sunday highlight for me.

Is CBS taking a break too or is this Sky's idea?

I think they are changing from Golf Channel to CBS. Heaven knows why it takes 30 mins !!??. Not skys idea

levin looks like a hot head waiting to lose his temper not nice to see but crane and simpson look very tempting at nice odd's

"watching" shot tracker but dont trust it!

CBS don't start their coverage until 3pm EST, some college basketball at the moment.

And if basketball overuns

Grant - I usually only tune in to see the final few holes of the tournament - can't believe they do this. Perhaps you could provide a bit more information instead of trying to be smart.

Ridiculous "coverage"

Levin has gone with his golf swing. His putting cant keep going forever. He is a gonna.

spencer in collapso mode

This is a certain collapso

lol nice bunker shot spencer

No idea why Levin is still FAV. Ok a par 5 next for him but his swing/balance is all over the shop. Even the way he is smoking looks dodge!

Levin looks a great lay now, clearly melting down

levin is melting faster than the snow

stream 2 here......don't download anything mind

wow levin just drained

Taking a drop with the belly putter is disgusting sportsmanship. How it is allowed i have no idea

Ok he didn't

As I said earlier, a known and proven choker.

To be fair 95% choke, some are just more obvious than others.

wow! what a bonus. Kyle you just won me more than I lost on you last week

i'd like to choke him.

WD Eric...karma

who won

Kyle Stanley

cheers, layed that levien  guy who was leading by 4 earlier ,good night and good luck

Mixed feelings here. Lost 70 bucks on Levin but had Stanley and Lawrie in the golf comp. Seriously gonna have to evaluate whether to continue with this golf betting thing, haven't a clue what's going on these days. Seriously Spencer, a 6 shot lead, and 8 shots over the guy who won? On a course that really isn't very difficult for pro players. Ridiculous, crazy game golf but you've gone too far here Spencer, you've gone too far.

Come to think of it, Congratulations Spencer Levin, 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am winner, after a final round meltdown from 3rd round leader Bobby Gates, who relinquished a 17 shot lead chasing his first PGA Tour win. You heard it here first folks, lock it in.

therhino, Levin was always a strong candiate to mess it up, his swing and mental attitude have huge question marks against them. I laid him with 2 rounds to go and was amazed how well he played in round 3! I did not lay him again until I watched him in round 4 you could sense the meltdown, I laid him again and again when Kyle got within 4 shots. At this level it is all about your mental state and many of them are scared to win, very few are comfortable leading in the 4th round, one that is (and whatever you say about his putting, its just bad in the 1st or 4th round)but he is totally at ease leading is Westwood.

Kyle is a proper player and his loss last week was far more of a shock. I really think Kyle has the chance to kick on to the upper ranks of the game and have a shot at a major. Poor old Spencer will never win (or at least not with my money on him)

The tee shot Levin played on the final par five was completely the wrong shot IMO. I never saw it, but apparently he went left into the water on the same shot in the third round. Why he then smashed a driver out to the right next time they play the hole is crazy. Result - he ends up under a bush and digs it out with his putter. Surely taking something like a 4 iron off the tee, then a mid iron lay up would be a far better percentage call. The chance of birdie can't be much different going for the green in two or the lay up option, but the chance of dropping a shot or landing under a bush would be considerably less.

4 iron off the tee on that hole is no good Adrian. It's a brilliant risk reward that hole, it's just begging to be attacked, the water is there to punish the poorly executed shot. Driver is the right club, water the wrong destination... It was a good choice, just a poor shot.

It's like the 13th at Augusta, brings plenty of players unstuck, but the guys who win green jackets birdie or eagle it.
