A golf tournament is five rounds. Katie shot -1 in two rounds, -2 on one round, and +1 on the other two rounds. The winning score was five under par.

What was Katie's final score?

Did Katie win the tournament ? Explain

-2

No.

She didn't win because she got a score of 2 under par but the winner got a score of 5 under par. The lower the score in golf, the better, because you want to hit the ball into each hole in as few strokes as possible.

To find Katie's final score, we need to add up the scores from each round.

Katie shot -1 in two rounds, so -1 + -1 = -2.
Katie shot -2 in one round, so -2.
Katie shot +1 in two rounds, so +1 + +1 = +2.

Adding all the scores together: -2 + -2 + +2 = -2.

Katie's final score is -2.

To determine if Katie won the tournament, we compare her final score to the winning score. The winning score was five under par, so Katie must have a lower score than -5 to win.

Since Katie's final score is -2, which is higher than -5, she did not win the tournament.
