WATCH: John Peterson sinks birdie putt at Wells Fargo Championship

The perfect read or just plain luck?

Either way, John Peterson will take it.

Peterson entered the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship right amid the hunt at 5-under. After playing even par through the first eight holes of Saturday's action, Peterson bogied two of this next three holes. A bogey on 16 left Peterson falling to 2-under and further off Patrick Reed's lead.

Peterson found a way to get back on the right track on 17.

 

Reed -- whose memorable match with Rory McIlroy helped Team USA capture the 2016 Ryder Cup -- had a big Saturday, entering the clubhouse as the leader after a 5-under round. Peterson hopes that this birdie can turn things around and get him back up the leaderboard in tomorrow's finale.
