# The 20 yard chip shot

From 20 yards the tour average needs 2.400 strokes to hole out from the fairway, 2.590 from the rough and 2.530 from the sand. A chip from the rough that finishes 3 feet from the hole is worth +0.54 against the tour average and one that finishes 10 feet away -0.04; the leave, not the swing, decides the up and down.
