In a golf tournament Ned was 4 under par on Saturday and 5 over or on Sunday. What is the difference in his score on Sunday compared to his score on Saturday

Givens and opening thoughts:
  • Think of par as 0 or average.
  • Under par is negative
  • Over par is positive
  • We have 4 under par as -4
  • We have 5 over par as +5
The difference is found by subtracting:
+5 - -4
+5 + 4
9 strokes
