# The 160 yard shot

From 160 yards in the fairway the tour average needs 2.980 strokes to hole out, 3.230 from the rough and 3.280 from the sand. An approach from the fairway that finishes 15 feet from the hole is worth +0.20 against the tour average, one that finishes 40 feet away -0.08; anything inside 29 feet beats the average from there.
