Si Woo Kim holed an unlikely pitch shot and reacted with Steph Curry’s famous “night-night” celebration.
It didn’t close his match, however. In fact, it only tied his and Tom Kim’s foursomes against Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.
The Americans eventually won the match with a birdie at the last.
But … great celebration on No. 16. After Tom Kim hit his approach shot right, into the thick grass above the greenside bunker, a search began for the ball.
It was found and deemed to be embedded, allowing Si Woo Kim to get a free drop — from where he holed out off a steep slope.
Team Kim went crazy with Si Woo putting his hands against his head in a sleep position, a move made famous by NBA superstar Curry.
The issue was: Curry does that when he delivers a knockout blow and locks up a win. Kim’s birdie won the hole but only tied the match. Cantlay then made a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the match, 1 up, and put the U.S. up 11-7 entering singles.
