The Open organisers agree to use of Spidercam on 18th green at Portrush

• Major will be first time the technology is used in golf

• Camera will capture the walk up to the final hole in detail

The R&A has installed a Spidercam above the 18th green at Portrush for next week's Open - the first time the technology has been used in golf.

The four-point wire-cam system has been suspended above the final hole using four 25-metre-high pylons and will be used to provide spectacular aerial views and unique angles of play, as well as capturing the Open champion's final walk up the 18th in unprecedented detail.
