Who's keeping score?

[bonanova]

When four friends, Bill, Ed, Jim and Tom, began their foursome at Fairview Links last Saturday, they discovered to their dismay that no one had brought a pencil to keep their scores. And well let's just say that in the clubhouse afterward there was some confusion. Here are four "facts" that each player remembered. But fair warning, it turns out only two of each group of statements are true. And, if it helps, they all correctly remembered that no two players had the same final score.

• Bill:
  I beat Jim and Tom.
  Ed shot 111.
  Jim took 6 on the last hole.
  None of us broke 100.
   
• Ed:
  Bill wasn't last.
  I was the winner.
  Jim finally broke 100.
  I shot 98.
   
• Jim:
  I beat Bill and Ed.
  The last hole was not my best.
  We didn't all break 100.
  Tom wasn't the winner.
   
• Tom:
  Ed beat Bill.
  I was the winner.
  Bill placed between Ed and Jim.
  The last hole was Jim's best.

That's it. But surely by now you know what order they actually placed.

Assuming "X beat Y and Z" allows X to beat Y but lose to Z.

Ed:

Jim finally broke 100.
I shot 98.

A couple assumptions:

"We didn't all break 100." includes the possibility that no one did. 

"Bill placed between Ed and Jim" means directly between. 

Ed, Bill Tom, Jim

Didn’t all break ... just rules out the case that all broke ... anything else is possible  

Between Ed and Jim means beat one and lost to the other. 

I have somewhat different answer.

Does this solution imply that

Jim's statement 2 and Tom's statement 4 are both false?

With the previous assumption about the meaning of between.
