Anyone ever heard of this? I placed this bet with a Starnet book last week. They are telling me its a loser. Although they ended up tied for 72 holes, since Sluman shot a lower score on Sunday, he wins.

According to golf rules as taken from the web site:
"For matchup betting all of the players listed in the matchup bet offer must
tee off for your bet to have action. The player with the most completed
holes wins. If the players complete the same number of holes, then the
player with the lowest score wins. For betting purposes, if the players are
still tied then the winner will be deemed the player who scored the lowest
score in the last round played and so on, until a winner is found. If both
golfers in a match-up are in a playoff a) winner of play-off wins the
match-up and b) all other playoff participants tie each other."
The highlighted item above refers specifically to your wager:
Fred Funk, $30,000 72-70-71-70-283
Jeff Sluman, $30,000 71-72-71-69-283
So Jeff Sluman was deemed the winner because he had the lowest score in the
final round. Please let us know if you require further clarification.
