A team prize in Golf is shared by the side. An individual mark belongs to one name. The lab does not add them into one score. This Golf guide keeps 1860 Open Championship as the worked example and 18 holes in a round as the count held still, and it names R&A because the public frame reaches back to 1860.
Use 1860 Open Championship when you mean the shared prize, and 18 holes in a round when you mean the individual count. R&A has kept those as different public facts since 1860. Say that figure out loud, then open the era control or the linked section on purpose. This is a reading of the Golf atlas, not a bet, not a prediction, and not an official R&A ranking.

Start with "A prize the whole side shares". For Golf, the concrete case is 1860 Open Championship, and the count you hold still is 18 holes in a round. R&A is the body named here; 1860 is the reference year, so you are reading a published frame rather than inventing a rank.
The next check is "A mark that belongs to one name". Keep 1860 Open Championship in view while 18 holes in a round stays the unit, because mixing a different count would make the Golf comparison look sharper than it is. R&A has been the public frame since 1860.
Pause on "Why the lab does not add them" before you treat every prize as the same kind of fact. 1860 Open Championship is the example, 18 holes in a round is the count, and R&A does not ask this atlas to publish an official Golf order. The reference year is 1860.
Close the loop with "A fair way to mention both". After you can say 1860 Open Championship and 18 holes in a round out loud, open the linked Golf section. The anchors remain R&A and 1860. This page still does not forecast a result.
This page shows how to read the Golf comparison around 1860. It is not an official R&A ranking, not a prediction, and not a betting note.
