World Matchplay Championship Format

Match play is a scoring system for golf in which a player earns points for each hole in which they have beaten their opponents.  In match play the unit of scoring is the hole, the most that can be scored per hole is one point, the player with the lowest score (par) on a given hole receives one point.  If there is a draw then the hole is halved.
