Default Reference between rows, not columns

To simplify:
With a list of names in column A and scores in column B, I know using
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(B:B),B:B,FALSE,)1) I can see who has the highest score.
My problem is, I want to do the same thing but across rows so that in the
example the names would be in row 1 with the scores in row 2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With names in Row 1 and marks in row2 try the below

=INDEX(1:1,MATCH(MAX(2:2),2:2,FALSE)*1)
