DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Spencer Levin gets another crack at his first PGA Tour victory.

Levin chipped in for eagle and for birdie, allowing him to make a few mistakes on the back nine Saturday at the Memorial. He shot 3-under 69 and had a one-shot lead over Rory Sabbatini going into the final round at windy Muirfield Village.

Rickie Fowler shot a 69 — one of only three rounds in the 60s on a tough day in the wind — and was three shots behind. Fowler will play with Tiger Woods, a four-time Memorial champion very much in the mix. Despite two bogeys on the last three holes for a 73, he was four shots back.

Earlier this year, Levin blew a six-shot lead in the final round of the Phoenix Open.
