You have to feel for Spencer Levin. Not only did the kid blow a six-shot at the Waste Management Open (it was actually seven at one point during the day), he also suffered this humbling moment on the back nine. After knocking his tee-shot in the Cholla, Levin was forced to use his belly putter to hack back into play -- but not before the bush exacted some revenge by leaving Levin with a wonderful parting gift.Not only did his caddie, Mike Hicks, have to pull two pieces off his rib cage, he also had to pull another off his rear. That's never a good thing, especially when the moment is captured on national television ... and then gets thrown up on YouTube by the PGA Tour. I don't think guys will let him forget about this one.
