Pat Perez still has the lead in the Wells Fargo Championship. But he’s far from the only player shooting well at Quail Hollow.
Wells Fargo Championship Leaderboard Update: Pat Perez Leads, J.B. Holmes Sinks Double Eagle
Perez is 2-under on his third round through 11 holes, and, at 14-under for the tournament, leads Andres Romero and Jonathan Byrd by two strokes. But Romero and others have been hot; Romero is 6-under through 16 holes in his third round, and he isn’t even the low player on Saturday.
That honor belongs to J.B. Holmes, who shot a 7-under 65 with the help of the first double eagle in tournament history. Holmes’ albatross came on the par-5 15th, where he holed out from the fairway.
That sterling round hasn’t quite brought Holmes to the cusp of the lead, but his five-shot deficit to Perez is much smaller than the ten-shot gap he faced entering Saturday.
