Golfer Sepp Straka did not make it past 61st place in the first FedEx Cup play-off tournament. The Austrian played his worst round at the event in Memphis on Sunday with a 73, including another double bogey. Straka is still part of the elite field, which has now been reduced to 50 men.

Victory went to Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who clung on to his lead despite double bogeys. In the FedEx Cup points ranking, Olympic bronze medallist Matsuyama is in third place behind the US duo of Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, with Straka in 24th place.

The next tournament in the play-offs begins on Thursday in Castle Rock, Colorado.
