# The 80 yard pitch shot

From 80 yards the tour average needs 2.750 strokes to hole out from the fairway, 2.960 from the rough and 3.240 from the sand. A pitch from the rough that finishes 3 feet from the hole is worth +0.91 against the tour average and one that finishes 10 feet away +0.33; the leave, not the swing, decides the up and down.
