Spencer Levin remained in control Saturday at the Phoenix Open in front of the largest crowd in tournament history at Scottsdale, Ariz., shooting a 3-under 68 to take a six-stroke lead into the final round. A crowd of 173,210 in perfect conditions at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course broke the record of 170,802 set in the third round in 2008. (Today)

Spencer Levin took one last drag on his cigarette, stamped it out in the rough and climbed into the bunker behind the 17th green. He set up quickly, took a quick glance at the hole and splashed out. The ball landed about 10 feet from the hole, bounced twice and rolled into the cup for an eagle-2 that pushed him to 14-under par Friday in the second round of the Phoenix Open in Scotsdale, Ariz. (Yesterday)

Ryan Palmer parred his final hole at dusk for a 7-under 64 and the lead Thursday in the suspended first round of the Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Ariz. The start of the round was delayed an hour because of frost, and play was suspended because of darkness with 42 players unable to finish. A year ago, frost and frozen greens delayed play nine hours during the week, forcing a Monday finish. (02/03/2012)

Robert Garrigus saw no reason to stick around for the finish. He had watched enough of the final round at Torrey Pines to see that Kyle Stanley, whom he described as "exploding with talent," had a three-shot lead and was headed for a sure win. Garrigus left for the spa to get a massage. It did not take long for him to figure out what had happened. (02/02/2012)
