In golf, the term "3&2" specifically refers to match play scoring. It means that a player is three holes ahead with only two holes left to play. Because the opponent cannot possibly catch up, the match concludes at that point without playing the remaining holes. For example, if a player is three holes up after the 16th hole in an 18-hole match, they have won the match, so the final score is recorded as "3&2" indicating three holes up with two holes remaining to play.
