i've had so much support from so many people and people i don't even know and it's helped me put it behind me and move on. peter: just about everybody i talked to in the golf world especially said this kid is strong, he's going to come back from this just how much did that outpouring of support mean to you in helping put it behind you and giving you the inner strength to do what i -- you did this week? >> it really meant rving. i'm just fortunate i have such a great team of people around me my family was there. they stayed with me for a few days. i don't know what i had done if i was by myself. it's been great. peter: spencer levin needs to hole out his second to force a playoff. the ball is in the air now at 18 with spencer. what did you do physically to get yourself through this round this week? did you make any adjustments

with your game based on what you learned last week? >> not really. i hit it great last week. i hit it great this week. putted well last week with the exception of a couple of times. putted well again this week. i just kept telling myself to keep playing my game, have a short memoryle and go out and play golf. peter: you certainly did that very, very nicely. i saw a difference in your short game and wedges this week. last week, a lot of spin and didn't quite have control of your emotions. you looked to be a much more controlled player coming down the stretch today. >> we hit a couple squirrelly tee shots but our recovery shots were fantastic. made a really good par save on 15 and 16 as well. make to -- nice to make that four-footer on the last. peter: thank you. we'll see when it is official.

well done, though. >> thank you very much. jim: he was born in 1987. he's 24 years old. ranked 87th from the world and that is about to climb in a hurry. there's his card. not a single mark on it. negative mark, that is. six birdies, the rest pars. kyle stanley, one levin shot away from getting that long-coveted masters invitation. david: the old marlena dietrich line in his interview. all you need for a good life is good health and a bad memory. jim: he went to school in clemson, not far from augusta. joins yet a long list of tour winners by way of clemson. lucas glover, jonathan byrd. d.j. trahan. just to name a few.

coach larry pinly. he's played at augusta, says it's his favorite course but he's never competed there. unless that ball goes into the hole from levin he'll have the invitation and his first tour win. nick: you're right. it won't be his last. if he just keeps fine-tuning things. there are still a couple of kinks in the golf swing, pulling a few wedges. once he masters that but his physical strength is impressive and his physical courage. derek mentioned his player met ribs. his medicine ball smashes and throws and split-lunge jumps. jim: he looks fit, i know that nick: he's ripped so he has an amazing ability to pound it out

there. jim: first ran across him three years ago in the colonial country club ballroom when he was awarded the ben hogan award and didn't look anything like this. nick: yeah, totally different guy now. the stubble helps. jim: spencer levin had his family out there today in the gallery. his mother rebecca, his father dofpblet cousin, girlfriend. actually, his mother colleen. nick: we've seen some bizarre things. you never know. it's slim but you never know. david: well, come on. nick: come on, i know. david: i've had two traumatic weeks. jim: this for par. it all came undone for him at 13.

six last week -- sixth last week. tied for 12th here. kyle stanley is actually watching the action. 155 here, david. david: a 9-iron coming downwind. wow! jim: he threw it right at it. and we have a new champion in the game. there he is. peter, right back to you. peter: kyle, it is official. 2012 waste management champion. how's that feel? >> feels great. um -- peter: it's all right to be emotional. you were emotional last week for whole different reasons.

now you have a chance to stand up there, be proud and be happy. >> i'd just like to thank my mom and dad. they've done a lot for me and this feels great. i'm speechless. peter: no worries. you go ahead and enjoy this congratulations on an unbelievable comeback from last week. unbelievable. >> thank you very much. peter: and by the way, boys, he's picking the patriots, just so you know. jim: there you go. he's on a roll. i wouldn't go against him. his father matt and his mother michelle. and sister kristen. and how do you think the golf community looks at this performance, nick? nick: well, it gives everybody else who puts themselves through the wringer great hope. he's obviously a talented guy. great game. as i was saying he's going to keep learning a little bit more each time and all these new feelings. even when he was exhaling there his lips were shaking.

he was physically shaken in the playoffs last week but now he's learned how to play golf when he's shaken. jim: how about spencer levin going through not exactly the same script as a week ago. it's not the same 72nd hole but has to walk away from it with similar feelings that kyle was experiencing seven days ago. nick: he's going to real -- learn the real importance of tempo and how you maintain the tempo throughout your swing as the pressure and your emotions and the intensity changes. we could see it all through the week. he's quite fast. there were a few times he was off balance. but when you're up against a guy who can rip that it well and everybody is trying to play with balance and poise and power. this will be something he'll look at and think maybe i have to fine-tune this is make this a little bit better so i can survive another sunday's

battle. jim: just a little reminder tonight on cbs, "60 minutes." "60 minutes" presents. "csi: miami" and "ncis." nick: they can actually go and put kyle stanley's name on the check this week. it was a little embarrassment last week. somebody with a little bit of haste. jim: couldn't blame them. nick: fortunately it wasn't engraved on the claret jug and they had to rub it off. david: you think of the last two weekends in terms of weirdness. it's harder to think of a couple of back-to-back that

would qualify, or even close. nick: might be the theme for the year, david. jim: last week all of that late drama was all just a setup for this. and now we have a new leader babington fedex cup points list. it is, in fact, stanley with a second and a first in these two weeks, overtaking johnson wagner. i don't know, just watching the way he rips at a driver. the way he just moves around a golf course. sash yeahs out there. -- sash iowas out there. looks big-time to me, nick. nick: these guys are all good. but they still need that real safety shot. you know, the one where you can put a gun to the guy's hit and he says i can hit a fade or a draw because quite a few times they lost it.

they were seriously losing it down 15 and they got twitched up down 16 and 17. you know, to take your game to another level. if you can produce the bread and butter shot under pressure, the nicklaus fade and the ernie els draw, shots like that david: you know, nick, that's the one area -- jim: spencer trying to try second. david: another one. that's the one area i think technology hasn't helped. it was much easier to do with a wooned driver. nick: the old chunk of wood, per simon, chunk of rubber. it was a different -- these guys exploited that. we squashed a ball. now these guys explode off the golf course. jim: i'm sure spencer's family will be there to try to bring some solace to, this just as kyle's family was a week ago. and when spencer levin talks to

his father about golf -- his father an outstanding player in his own right. in fact, qualified for the 1983 u.s. open did tom levin at oakmont. 518,000 for the week and that's phenomenal. here at the waste management phoenix open. and don levin, back in 1978, was the medalist at the california state amateur and then bobby clampett went on and won the state am there at pebble. here's bubba. nick: bubba cannot keep still. jim: you really notice it when he's on the greens. nick: his feet are flying around on his long game. but one area you have to ground them, bubba. glue them to the ground and stay there. but he'll have a nice ride home

in the general lee, won't he? david: i heard him crank it up. oh, it's a beautiful noise that big block v-8. jim: bought the old "dukes of hazzard" car from the opening celts. the letter of authenticity, the one that went airborne. bought it at action recently. david: is it in the parking lot? jim: yeah, back around our tower here. a fifth-place finish. actually at the moment tied with webb simpson. and kevin na, brendan steele. nick: it's so easy for these guys. they buy a car and pay for it the next week. there it is. see there? he's going to have to have his own security if he's going to bring that to a few events. if you just stood there and kept looking at that 01 that's

got to be good for your saiki. think of that, bubba. one putt. jim: i was going to say world number one. nick: you need the one-putts first. the dancing footwork will not get him to world number one. jim: not the car. the putting. nick: yeah, the putting. jim: a birthday shotout to our man michael cilillo. moxie mike. had a birthday today, his first

as a dad. great teammate. and this one is about to close it out. what a memorable final day, though. moves back to 10 under and into a tie for eighth with john rollins, jason dufner, bo van pelt. there's your winner, kyle stanley. you couldn't keep him down for long, could you? knocks it in at the 72nd hole this time and he's got his first victory on the pga tour. he's going to the masters. watch this young man. he's got a world of talent. he wins the waste management phoenix open. we'll see you at pebble beach we'll see you at pebble beach next week.
