Hideki Matsuyama managed to avoid missing the cut for the second straight week after a second-round par 71 at the Dell Technologies Championship on Saturday.

Matsuyama slid down five places on the leaderboard to 47th at the TPC Boston, but it was good enough to qualify him for the weekend in the second event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Jon Rahm of Spain, playing in the same threesome with Matsuyama, unseated Dustin Johnson for the lead with a 66 on the day that left him at 9 under, two shots better than a pack of four golfers tied for second.
