I was in a position to tighten up and get third place; however, QQ four-handed was a golden opportunity. What would you do ...

Were you trying to win third place or were you trying to win? If the former, then yes, fold your QQ, but for cryin' out loud you were handed a golden opportunity, you took it, you've got nothing to feel wrong about.
