Everything you need to know for Saturday's third round of the U.S. Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- Everybody is chasing Dustin Johnson at the U.S. Open. He's the only player under par. He has a four-shot lead. The wind and the rain and the tough conditions at Shinnecock Hills don't bother him one bit. Now, it's about whether anyone can push him over the weekend and avoid turning this championship into a DJ runaway.
For those chasing Dustin Johnson ...
Well, it's not good news, especially lately. Aside from Johnson being four shots clear of the field and the only player in the field under par, recent history is on his side.
Take, for instance, how the past four U.S. Opens have played out. If you have the lead, or a piece of it, over the past four years, you win.
