How are ties broken on the leaderboard? (countback)

When two players finish on the same total, the app applies standard golf countback to find a winner:

  1. Back 9 (holes 10–18) - lowest wins (or highest points in Stableford).
  2. Back 6 (holes 13–18) - same comparison.
  3. Back 3 (holes 16–18).
  4. Last hole (hole 18).

The app stops at the first window that separates the players and shows you exactly which one decided it, e.g. "Lost on countback (back 6: 30 vs 29)". For 9-hole rounds, the same idea is applied to the last 6/3/1 holes.
