FedEx St. Jude Championship: Field and tee times

The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup playoff standings are all involved.

Olympic bronze medallist Matsuyama is flying and leads the rest of the group by five shots on 17 under.

Viktor Hovland won the FedEx Cup last year and he's still just about in contention six shots back from Matsuyama.

Scheffler also has a slim chance of turning things around on the final day, though he has to make up seven shots.

Meanwhile, McIlroy has endured a nightmare and is five over, so has no chance of winning.
