Jordan Spieth discussed how things were going with Si Woo and why they did a chest bump immediately after the shot. Spieth said:

"I told Si Woo he's not allowed to make it because then we couldn't play together tomorrow so he had a two putt and then if he did and he did then I said okay and then it's my job and if it's yeah that's what that was for then Siwu came up and just bumped me. That was just the replay again."

Amanda Balionis reacted:

"That was a well-played-out celebration."
