birdies / playoff
A lot of golf terminology is retained in French, compare with "un corner" in football, or "le quarterback".
3,600 hits for "un birdie" on Google.
850 hits for playoff (without a dash):

Note most English words in French are nm, unless the word is similar to a French nf.

Comment: "Ok, stop fighting!
I'll be using the English terms, after all, the film takes place in Scotland. I don't know whether the DVD will be sold in Canada or France, anyway."

oiselets - finale
J'ai effacé ma préponse précédente par erreur - désolée.
Il réussit deux oiselets décisifs alors que Jones faiblissait dans le deuxième jeu/la deuxième ronde...
Oiselet = Birdie.
Les professionnels du sport, journalistes et commentateurs utilisent maintenant tous les termes français pour le golf.

It is sad indeed. In Canada, where golf has been a popular sport for a long time, the use of English terms is frowned upon.

birdies/trous supplémentaires
Dans ce contexte, je dirai trou supplémentaire, mais regarde bien, parce que parfois un seul playoff est composé de plusieurs trous.

Et est-ce triste que les anglais disent peloton, epée, Lacrosse, Tour de France, repêchage, parc fermé, etc......?
