Article says "Uribe was the match play equivalent of 7 under par." I believe they meant stroke play.

You were watching the wrong channel then--no birdies in match play--get it?
You either win the hole loose the hole or it is all square
Ugh. Why not be a little more technical for us PGA? Of course you realize that you can win a hole, halve a hole or lose a hole with a birdie.

For someone so insistent on being technically accurate, you ought to double check your posts becase you can't "loose" a hole no matter what you do. Get it?

Idgit.

From the USGA website:

Carol Semple Thompson, playing in her record 12th Curtis Cup Match, sinks a 27-foot ___birdie putt___ from the fringe at the 18th hole to secure the USA's 11-7 victory over Great Britain and Ireland. The dramatic putt was fitting since the Match was played in Thompson's hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa., at the Fox Chapel Golf Club. It was also Thompson's 18th victory in Curtis Cup play, another record.

And you said this wasn't possible.

In match play they do not record bogies, birdies, etc. maybe a technicality but that is a fact--only in stroke play are birdies, pars, etc recorded.
No kidding. Just because they're not recorded doesn't mean a birdie, par, eagle, bogey, albatross, wasn't made on a hole.

Good grief.
