Having a good short game is imperative to scoring well on the course. Whether that’s getting up-and-down to make birdie on a par 5 or to keep momentum going by making par after a missed green in regulation. The ability to chip and pitch the ball close regularly takes a lot of pressure off a golfer's long game, in particular their iron play, so it’s interesting to see which of the best golfers in the world are best at knocking the ball close after a blunder with their approach shot.
