In golf, the lower your score, the better. Your score is relative to the par of that hole. Par is the number of times you can hit the ball to put it in the hole. If you finish a hole in 1 shot less than par, then your score becomes 1 under or minus 1. If you do 1 shot more than par your score becomes 1. The par of an entire golf course is usually 72 strokes (each time we hit the ball is called a stroke). However, the course this tournament was played on had a par of 71. The overall score of a player is the total of the four rounds. For Rory McIlroy, his scores for 4 rounds were +1, -5, -3, and -3 respectively. These scores added together gave him the overall score of -10.
