Definition: "Halved" is a match play term that means a hole or match was tied. In match play, the goal is to win individual holes, and to win the match by winning the most holes. When a hole is tied - both players in the match score 4s - it said to be "halved," and the players are said to have achieved a "halve." Of course, "halve" is poor grammar (it should be "half," after all), but "halve" is what's used. A match is halved when both players win the same number of holes.
Examples:
1. He's putting to halve the hole. 2. They halved their match.
