The match, which was tied through the 15th hole, saw Kim Si-woo break the deadlock by making a birdie on the 16th hole (par 3).

Kim Si-woo then closed out the match by sinking a 5-meter birdie putt on the 17th hole (par 4).

However, in the subsequent foursomes match play, they suffered their first defeat of the tournament, losing 2 and 1 with one hole remaining to the pairing of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele.

On the third day of the tournament, which featured four four-ball matches and four foursome matches played in a single day, the International Team recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses in the four-ball matches, and 2 wins and 2 losses in the foursomes.
