English term or phrase: a 72 hole tournament
Va para los golfistas. Contexto:
***Competitive play was the objective this week so after one practise round we had a 72 hole tournament. I was in the mix after 54 holes but Paul moved through the gears with a great 67 (5 under) and that was that! ****

El campo de golf en el que jugaron es de par 72, así que imagino que lo del 72 hole tournament, tendrá relación con esto, pero no se como ponerlo en español.

¡¡GRACIAS!!!

un torneo de 72 hoyos
Explanation:
Lo de "par" es pura coincidencia. Un campo de golf normalmente tiene 18 hoyos; en el torneo jugarán 4 rondas, o sea, 4 X 18 que equivale a 72.

agree  Tomás Cano Binder, CT: Hm... Sí, pero "un torneo A 72 hoyos". La preposición "A" para indicar las condiciones acordadas o existentes para el torneo. "Un partido a tres sets", es un ejemplo del tenis.

  -> Thanks, Tomás. I know very well that it's the prepositions that always betray my non-native Spanish! (And gender errors, and subjunctive usage, and not knowing when to use "tú" rather than "usted," etc......)
