WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship

Can anyone explain to me how the scoring is done at the match play championship?
For example, the match between Mickelson and Daly, the writeup says Mickelson won 2 and 1.

That means that Mickelson won the match being up 2 holes with 1 hole remaining - in other words - after the 17th hole, Mickelson was plus 2 holes - they don't play the final hole since Daly could not catch him - if for instance it would have been 3 and 2 - you would be up 3 holes with 2 remaining - hopefully that explains it to you.

Makes perfect sense.
Thanks.
