They became an endearing pair during the 2022 matches, when they won Saturday fourballs over Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. That year, he led the team with a 3-1-0 record. It’s been a winless season for Si Woo, but he has only missed one cut and finished top 10 on 11 different occasions, bringing a red hot spark to Illinois for his team.3.
