Can I play a second ball in match play?

In match play, you are unsure how to proceed under a Rule. May you complete the hole with two balls?

Answer

No, that is only allowed in stroke play. You agree with your opponent or request a ruling

Playing two balls is only allowed in stroke play. In match play, you agree how to apply the Rule or tell your opponent that you will request a ruling later. You must do so before either of you plays from the next teeing area.
