2 and 1 recorded in golf score (4)
I believe the answer is:
pair
'2' is the definition.
(pair is a kind of 2)
'1 recorded in golf score' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'recorded in' indicates putting letters inside.
'golf score' becomes 'par' (I've seen this in another clue).
'i' inserted inside 'par' is 'PAIR'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for pair that I've seen before include "Two ducks in one game of cricket" , "flight of stairs" , "Twosome" , "Cereal used as food" , "Agreement to avoid division" .)
