A layup is the better shot if your sole aim is shooting a lower score on your round there (and by extension, preserving your higher paycheck). For the purposes of actually winning the US Open in that context, though? It essentially shuttered his chances.

I'm guessing if you go shot for shot, one from the rough at 247 yards out and one from the fairway at 70 yards out, that the guy from 247 chases it on the green before the guy holes it from 70.
