Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg won a historic 9-and-7 victory in the 2023 Ryder Cup. However, it is important to note that 9 and 7 do not have a specific meaning in the context of the Ryder Cup. The Ryder Cup is a golf tournament where 12 of the best United States golfers compete against 12 of the best from Europe every two years. The tournament is played over three days in a format called match play, where team captains decide which players will compete in each match. The formats include foursomes, four-ball, and singles, and each match is worth one point, with a total of 28 points available. The first team to reach 14 ½ points wins, and if it ends in a 14-14 draw, the team holding the Ryder Cup gets to keep it.
