PGA Champ Round Times?

[Headhammer]

Have we seen any data yet on the impact of the players using rangefinders on round lengths? I know there were a lot of back-ups on Thursday and Friday, but had not seen if overall round times were increased due the addition of the range finders.

Kiawah was never going to be a good litmus test for range finders. Range finders aren’t helping speed up play in 30 MPH winds on Pete Dye’s most sadistic layout.

In my opinion range finders will not speed up play as distance to pin is only a small part of what the player/caddie is analyzing.

They don’t seem to be using them much at all. They’re occasionally using them as binoculars more than rangefinders. I’ve heard caddies are very much against rangefinders for obvious self interest reasons.
