The problem description is a bit unclear. Suppose that x = [70 71 73 74 73 70 72]. Then golfer #7 has the third best score; but since there's two golfers tied for first place (#1 and #6) and we're supposed to imagine a play-off then, I would suspect that the correct answer here is actually 2 rather than 7. Would be nice to get a clarification.
Yes, that's correct. The order would be 70a, 70b, 71, so the golfer with 71 would be third and win.
