Perez right back in the hunt at Wachovia...

Pat Perez entered Friday afternoon riding that cut line. Saturday morning, he finds himself a few strokes off the current lead and officially in the hunt at this year's Wachovia Championship.

E looked like the magic number this weekend, but that slowly crept to +1 by day's end on Friday. After an opening round 72 for Perez and sitting pretty at -1 after 15 in round two, it looked like smooth sailing in regards to seeing the weekend. A bogey-par-bogey run down the stretch changed all that, putting PP at +1 after 36.

Come Saturday, Perez rattled off six birdies in his first seven holes and the tear was on. -6 at the turn, PP picked up another birdie on #10, gave a stroke back on #13 and went birdie-eagle on #14 and #15 to put him at -9 on the day.

From there, the three hardest holes at Quail Hollow followed, with Perez going par-bogey-bogey to close out a stellar third round of 65.

Next up, the waiting game. Perez is currently two off the lead - which will obviously shift as the day progresses. The only guarantee - a later final round tee time than the 7:54am ET start Perez saw on Saturday.

Tune in Sunday for final round action at this year's Wachovia Championship.
