2   8

3  1 under par

4  5 under par

Answer 2

folks have gotten 2 thru 5 correct, but with question #1, one cannot tell how many points the markets fell last week, or if it even fell--it could have risen. You just gave us a reference point from last week's close....or was there a typo in your question? So my guess for #1 is "cannot tell".

3.  The second placed golfer had a score of 1 under par.

4.  The winner's score was 5 under par.
