Was looking through some stats on the PGA tour website. One that was interesting was rough proximity. It is defined as:
The average distance remaining to the hole for all approach shots hit from the rough, but not around the green. The approach shot must end on or around the green or in the hole. Note: 'Around the green' indicates the ball is within 30 yards of the edge of the green.
Within this stat, is a column called "relative to par" and Tiger, VJ and Michelson stand out far ahead of most other tour players. Tiger is +1, Michelson is -5. But what does relative to par mean as related to this stat??
