They were just talking about this concept on the golf channel.
Colin Morikawa said of match play golf that in the semi finals player A shoots a 7 under 65 to beat player B who went 6 under 66. In the other semifinal player C shoots level par 72 to beat player D who shot 73.
Player B shoots another 66 in the 3rd place match to beat player D. Player C loses the final to player A while shooting another 72.
Who played better, the 3rd placer, player B, or the second placer, player C.
