Match Play Primer

From about.com, a match play primer. Had to see what the girls were doing at the Solheim Cup today - fourball:

Fourball Match Play
In Fourballs, each side consists of two players. Each player player his or her own ball throughout the round. On each hole, the low ball of the two players serves as that side's score. For example, on the first hole for Team A, Player 1 scores a 4 and Player 2 scores a 5, so the team score is 4. If Team A gets a 4 while Team B scores 5, then Team A wins the hole.


Around here we usually call that best score.
