Question

In golf, scores are based on par. Par 72 means that a golfer should hit the ball 72 times to complete 18 holes of golf. A score of 67, or 5 under par, is written as -5. A score of 3 over par is written as +3 or 75. At the Master's Tournament (par 72), a golfer shot 71, 68, 60, and 79 during the four rounds of golf. Write the golfers' overall score in relationship to par for the 4 rounds.

Answer 1

-10

Explanation:

Given that at the Master's Tournament (par 72), a golfer shot 71, 68, 60, and 79 during the four rounds of golf.

The score of 71 = 71-72=-1,

score of 71 = 68-72=-4,

score of 71 = 60-72=-12,

and score of 71 = 79-72=+7.

So, among the 4 shots, one is over par score, +7, while the remaining three are under par score, -1,-4,-12.

The overall score of the golfers

`=(-1)+(-4)+(-12)+7`

=-10
