# The 140 yard shot

From 140 yards in the fairway the tour average needs 2.910 strokes to hole out, 3.150 from the rough and 3.220 from the sand. An approach from the fairway that finishes 15 feet from the hole is worth +0.13 against the tour average, one that finishes 40 feet away -0.15; anything inside 23 feet beats the average from there.
