2&1 (or 3&1, or 3&2 respectively) is a final score during Match Play when a winner won before reaching the 18th hole. The first number specifies the number of holes by which the winner led, and the second number specifies how many holes left to be played when the match ended.

For example 5&4 means the winner was 5 holes ahead with 4 holes to play – the match ended after 14th hole.
