Question

In golf, a score of 0 is called even par. A score of 2 under par is written as -2. A score of 4 over par is written as +4 or 4. In 1995, Jose Maria Olazabal shot 6 under par, 2 over par, even par, and even par for the four rounds of the Masters Tournament. What was his final score?

Answer 1

His final score was -4 or 4 under par.

In order to figure this out, we simply need to turn all of them into numbers and then add them together.

6 under par = -6

2 over par = +2

Even par = 0

Even par = 0

So we add all of these together:

-6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = -4
