Perfectly-manicured green lawns with crisp white lines are the worldwide image of the tournament and the prospect of somebody sprinkling orange powder, the trademark of protesters who have invaded other major sporting events, is something organisers desperately want to prevent. "Every year we work with the Metropolitan Police and other agencies to review our security arrangements in line with relevant threat picture and of course. We've certainly uplifted security in areas such as the gates and around the course, with enhanced bag searches, and we are communicating with people to explain how that may take a little more time."Some of it is about the type of intelligence that we're using and the tactics that we're using," she said.
