Quayle bogeyed his first hole before responding with three front nine birdies and only one additional bogey to turn in 1-under 35. On the back nine of the Druid Hills Golf Club the Australian dropped a stroke on the 10th, then rebounded with birdies on 11, 14 and 15.

Second round co-leader Charles Huntzinger had an up and down round on Friday as he carded a 2-under 70. Through the first two rounds Huntzinger had bogeyed only one hole, however in the third round the rising Penn State sophomore carded five bogeys. Fortunately, for Huntzinger he was also able to offset his dropped shots with seven birdies.

Raul Pereda put together a 4-under 68 during Friday's third round to move to 12-under. After beginning the day in a three-way tie for third, Pereda will begin the final round in the position alone.

A member of the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman team in 2015, Pereda, now a junior at Jacksonville University rolled in seven birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey during his third round.

First round co-leader Jimmy Jones (Florida Southern) is 11-under and in fourth while Luis Gagne (LSU) and Hayden Wood (Oklahoma State) share fifth at 10-under.
