Perez (66) 'a little surprised' to be in hunt at Quail Hollow

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For a guy who has been dealing with pain described as "10 out of 10," Pat Perez has played virtually pain-free golf through three rounds at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Back in March, Perez sustained a grade-2 calf strain while doing calf raises in the gym. The injury took six weeks to heal, but the pain he felt during therapy was virtually unbearable.

Perez will begin Sunday's final round just one back of Max Homa, Jason Dufner and Joel Dahmen, thanks in large part to his bogey-free, 5-under 66 Saturday while having to endure two rain delays.
