Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Dustin Johnson has a 54-hole lead in a major championship and looks pretty close to unstoppable.

For the fifth time in his career, Johnson – the world No.1 golfer – holds at least a share of the lead through three rounds, this time a career-best four-shot advantage over Sungjae Im, Abraham Ancer, and Cameron Smith in the Masters Tournament. On the prior four occasions DJ has slept on a major lead Saturday night, he’s failed to win.
