Lawrie backs magic eye as aid to speed up play

Peter Lawrie is not only looking to win the Spanish Open in its centenary year but he is backing a new system to be trialled later this month that could help eradicate slow play.

‘Green Eye’ is a Finnish-developed satellite system that will be able to plot the exact position of each golfer no matter their whereabouts in a tournament.

Lawrie, who is lending his “time and support” to the system, indicated the system also possesses the capability of being able to time golfers and establish the exact root causes of slow play and relieving rules officials in mistaking Tour tortoises.
