Fairest result, is to call it a draw, unless it has already been won. Hence why they agreed it.
Agreed there's no perfect solution but at least my way means that the team actually doing the best at the time wins as opposed to what might have been the case had there been a few more holes played. Under the current rule you could be 8 up with 9 to play and it'll be called a draw. Don't see how that's fairer - it's far more likely that the team ahead at the time would go on to win than the team so far behind would stage a miraculous recovery.
