Monty wants shot clock to end slow play ‘bugbear’

Former European number one Colin Montgomerie believes the introduction of a shot clock would instantly solve the problem of slow play on the course.

The Scot, who topped the Order of Merit on an unprecedented eight occasions from the late 1990s onwards, thinks all players should be timed from the moment they tee off

He said the “biggest bugbear” in golf was slow play and it needed to be tackled and that meant applying penalties fairly across the board.
