"Just having some fun," Perez said.
He wasn't done, though.
Quigley followed with a similar shot that landed a few feet farther left, then rolled to about 8 feet. He tossed his club to Perez, who then tossed it, too.
"I liked him throwing his, saying, 'That's enough for me,"' Quigley said. "That's exactly how I felt. You wake up every morning thinking about that tee shot. You know it's going to be tough. When you come down the ninth green you're thinking about what the wind is going to do on 17 and trying to get a read on it. It's just the hardest shot we play."

STADLER'S REPEAT: Talk about an encore.
Kevin Stadler, making his debut at The Players Championship, eagled the 384-yard par-4 fourth for the second consecutive day.
He holed out from 95 yards with a 60-degree wedge in the third round Saturday, then made another eagle from a nearby spot Sunday. He holed out from 98 yards with a sand wedge in the final round.
"That doesn't happen often," said Stadler, the son of former Masters champion Craig Stadler. "I hit a great shot yesterday. Today, I got lucky. I got a good little hop and I could tell by the way people were watching it up by the green that it was going to be close.
"I couldn't believe it dropped in again. It was pretty wild."
And pretty rare.
Hal Sutton is the only other player to accomplish the feat at The Players. Sutton eagled No. 4 twice in 2001.
Stadler can only imagine what it will feel like to step to the tee box at No. 4 in the future, but he knows those shots will stick with him forever.
"It has treated me nicely the last couple of days, that's for sure," said Stadler, who shot 71 and finished 3 over.

TEBOW VISITS: Florida quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow visited TPC Sawgrass for the final round, watching the action on the famed par-3 17th with his brother, father and a few friends.
Tebow had hoped to catch former Florida golfer Chris DiMarco, but DiMarco was finished before Tebow arrived at the course.
Tebow, who became the first sophomore to win college football's most prestigious award, didn't get an early start because he got home late Saturday night from a missionary trip in eastern Europe.
The 6-foot-3, 232-pound Tebow lives nearby in Jacksonville and attended Nease High in Ponte Vedra Beach. So was he able to get through the hometown crowd without much problem?
"Not really," said Tebow, who was escorted by two sheriff's deputies.
