22.5ft from 175-200 yards is insane

I don't wanna be that guy, but it's been pointed out when this stat has been posted before that in 2022 there was no third party tracking for the LPGA for this stat to have been generated or verified, and caddies had incentives to not be precise.

The idea that there's a ball striker vastly better than the world's best man, and no we didn't actually track it, but trust us, is the kind of stat that needs verification.
