| Hole 1, both shoot par, nobody gets a stroke: All square. | |||||||||
| Hole 2, Roger shoots one stroke higher than Gary, but | |||||||||
| Roger gets a stroke, so the hole is tied. Still all square. | |||||||||
| Hole 3, Roger shoots a stroke lower, no strokes at issue, | |||||||||
| Roger wins the hole and he is now 1 up with 6 to play. | |||||||||
| As soon as somebody is up by more holes than the | |||||||||
| number of holes remaining, that guy wins the match. | |||||||||
| Gary wins hole 4, the match is again all square. | |||||||||
| Gary wins hole 5, and he is now 1 up with 4 to play. | |||||||||
| Roger is afraid. | |||||||||

| so he wins the hole. Again the match is all square. | |||||||||
| Roger wins hole 7 to go 1 up. | |||||||||
| Roger shoots 4 on hole 8 to Gary's 5, so he doesn’t | |||||||||
| need the stroke to win the hole. Roger is now 2 up | |||||||||
| with one hole to play, and the match is over. | |||||||||
