Triplett and Perry started the day tied at 11-under. Perry took the first lead of the day with a birdie on the fifth, but Triplett got back to even after chipping out of the bunker for eagle on the sixth. He holed a chip again on the ninth, this time for birdie, to get the lead back before Perry evened it again on the back nine.
