"It's pretty easy. You just don't think about it," Luck told Amanda Balionis of CBS on how he handles the pressure of trying to gain PGA Tour status.
Best round - Spencer Levin (65)
After posting two even-par 70s to start the tournament, Levin broke through with a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday, climbing 20 spots into third place.

"It's the best round I've played all year," Levin told Amanda Balionis of CBS after the round. "I've had a tough year, but I hit the ball really well, made a lot of putts. So, it was good."
Shot of the day - Keegan Bradley
Bradley made a walk-off eagle at the par-4 18th, and possibly started a new custom on tour.
Biggest disappointment - Arjun Atwal
Atwal came into Saturday in a tie for fourth place, but threw six bogeys on the card, and made just one birdie, posting a third-round 75. The 44-year-old's round dropped him down into a tie for 18th place, seven shots back of David Lingmerth.
Stat - 610 for Levin
Saturday's 65 by Levin was his lowest round since his second-round 64 at the 2015 CIMB Classic, exactly 610 days ago.
Sunday's storyline
- Lingmerth had his first bad round of the week, but still holds a one-shot advantage heading into Sunday.
