PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Before he teed it up Sunday, Graeme McDowell knew what really stood between him and the U.S. Open trophy.

“After the way he played yesterday, I thought if the same guy turned up today he was going to be really tough to beat,” McDowell said.

He was Dustin Johnson on Saturday. He was Dustin Hoffman on Sunday.

That’s what NBC’s Roger Maltbie accidentally called the third-round leader. At least we think it was an accident. The way Johnson was playing, Maltbie could have thought he was watching “Ratso Rizzo” or “Rain Man.”

Anybody got an Ishtar joke?
