Tom Kim must have had some pent-up energy after sitting out Day 2 of the Presidents Cup.
The 22-year-old was full of emotion — and clutch play — in Saturday fourballs. His partner, Si Woo Kim, was pretty saucy, too, as they defeated Americans Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark, 4 and 3.
It began with Si Woo Kim doing an early walk-in to win the first.
Walk it in, Si Woo 🚶♂️

After losing the ninth when Clark made birdie, Tom Kim responded with another birdie at the 10th to reclaim a 3-up advantage. He maintained that margin by dropping a 20-footer for birdie at the 14th that ended up tying the hole.

The match then finished as it began, with Si Woo Kim walking in a birdie at the 15th and doffing his cap well before the ball dropped.
