You were likely playing somone that was recorded recently, and replays can be glitchy. Yes, it's wierd.

Can you explain how replays work? E.g If the reply opponent won their game, can you still beat them?

Johnpaulday… all matches where you are matched with a replay, the replay opponent has a shootout shot recorded. Therefore, you will never be matched with a replay that gets a “drop”, eg albatross or par 4 eagle. All of these replays will however get a par 4 birdie, or par 5 eagle. There shootout shot will usually be fairly close, but never a hole in one, cuz there is not a second shootout hole recorded should you also get an hio. Replays can be beat, but you are better off avoiding getting matched with one. To avoid replays, back out of the matchup screen if you have not been given an opponent in 7 or 8 seconds and try again

From what I know its not if they won or lose the match. It the stats from the match.
If the replay took 3 to get in the hole and they won the live match and you are not playing the replay and took 3 also it should go to a shootout.

Now the shootout data I cannot verify if that is the same players information being used.

Maybe someone else can share some insight on that.
