Few golfers have held a three-stroke lead going into the final day of the U.S. Open. Some, like Tiger Woods in 2000, put the lead in a hammerlock. Others, like Dustin Johnson on Sunday, find that holding the lead is like holding onto smoke.

In the space of three nightmarish holes, Johnson went from three strokes up on eventual winner Graeme McDowell to three strokes off the lead. He carded triple bogey/double bogey/bogey on holes 2-4, and it's only because he was so far out in front as of Saturday that his entire U.S. Open hadn't gone up in flames in 20 minutes.
