# Par 3 strategy, priced

A par 3 is one approach and the miss decides it: from 150 yards the tour average needs 2.980 strokes, a green hit to 30 feet leaves 1.984 and a miss into a bunker 20 yards from the flag leaves 2.530. Aiming at a flag 8 yards from the middle costs a typical 150 yard dispersion 0.016 strokes with rough around the green and 0.006 with sand.

## Key figures

- From 150 yards a green hit to 30 feet leaves 1.984 expected strokes; a miss into sand 20 yards from the flag leaves 2.530.
- A flag 8 yards from the middle costs a typical 150 yard dispersion 0.016 strokes against the middle with rough around the green.

## Scope

- The lie values are the published tour baseline; the pin figures use the site’s dispersion model with a stated spread, green and pin offset.
