Consider what’s at stake on those 3 foot putts - a possible 2 year exemption that would literally change a man’s life - a top ten finish - maybe even a million dollars in prize money - a British Open win (Doug Sanders) - a Masters win (Scott Hoch)

According to research by Mark Broadie, a professor at Columbia University who is responsible for the 'strokes gained” concept, on average, PGA TOUR pros make 99% of 2-foot putts, 96% of 3-foot putts, 88% of 4-foot putts and 77% of 5-foot putts.

Speed of greens for pros PROBABLY faster than amateur, giggle
