# The 180 yard shot

From 180 yards in the fairway the tour average needs 3.080 strokes to hole out, 3.310 from the rough and 3.400 from the sand. An approach from the fairway that finishes 15 feet from the hole is worth +0.30 against the tour average, one that finishes 40 feet away +0.02; anything inside 42 feet beats the average from there.
