With his Dell Technologies Championship title hopes long gone, Hideki Matsuyama is looking ahead in hopes his FedEx Playoffs chances do not go the same way.

Sitting in equal 36th after a 1-under 70 in Sunday's third tour of TPC Boston, the Japanese has lost sight of tournament front-runners Justin Thomas of the United States and Marc Lieshman of Australia, who both lead the way at 12-under.

Paul Casey (11-under), Jordan Spieth (10-under) and Dustin Johnson (9-under) headline the chase pack.
