In golf, "4 and 3" refers to a match play score. It means that one player or team led by four shots or more with only three holes left to play, making it a safe bet that they will win the match. In match play golf, the match is over if one player leads by more holes than are remaining to be played. The score is not shown as "4 and 3," but rather as "4 up with 3 to play". In match play, players compete directly against an opponent on a hole-by-hole basis, and the winner of each hole is determined by who scores the lowest number of strokes. The players in the match do not have to play the remaining holes if it is impossible for the opponent to win the match with only a few holes left.
