Two-shot penalty handed out for slow play at Evian Championship
Since the LPGA introduced its new pace-of-play policy earlier this year, there have been four penalties assessed. The most recent instance came Friday at the Amundi Evian Championship, where China's Yan Liu was given a two-shot penalty for slow play on the par-5 seventh hole, her 16th of the day. Per Liu's playing competitor, Andrea Lee, their group was on the clock for the last six holes. Liu, whose par was turned into a double bogey, went on to finish bogey-birdie and missed the cut by three shots at 5 over. The two-shot penalty marks the second such penalty since the new policy was rolled out at the Ford Championship in March. Chisato Iwai was docked two shots for slow play at the Black Desert Championship in May. Iwai would miss that cut by two shots. Two one-shot penalties have also been handed out.

LPGA officials dish out another two-stroke slow play penalty at Amundi Evian Championship
For a second time this year, LPGA officials have dished out a two-stroke penalty for slow play. Only this one came at a major championship. China's Yan Liu received the penalty on the seventh hole (her 16th of the day) of the Amundi Evian Championship, resulting in a double bogey on the par 5. Liu, who was informed of the penalty while on the course, finished bogey/birdie on her last two holes to shoot 75. She ultimately finished the championship at 5 over, missing the cut by three. Lui played alongside Andrea Lee and Mi Hyang Lee on Friday. Lee, who has been contending all week, noted in her post-round interview that the group was on the clock the last six holes. "I felt a little bit rushed," said Lee. The LPGA has handed out four slow-play penalties since the new pace-of-play policy was put in place at the Ford Championship in March. Two of those were one-stroke penalties and two were two strokes. In May, Rookie Chisato Iwai was assessed a two-stroke penalty on the eighth hole Friday of the Black Desert Championship in Utah and went on to miss the cut by two. In February, the tour released a new Pace of Play Policy that introduced a one-shot penalty.

Former NHL player Joe Pavelski leads American Century celebrity golf tournament
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. -- Former NHL player Joe Pavelski scored 23 points under a modified Stableford system to take the first-round lead Friday in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe. 'The round was good,' said Pavelski, second last year behind former tennis player Mardy Fish. 'Obviously, the first tee and first-round excitement was there. Nerves were there.' Former NBA player and coach Vinny Del Negro, the 2021 winner in the celebrity tournament, was a point back. Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, the 2023 winner, was another point behind at 21 with former soccer player Taylor Twellman. Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen had 19 points, and former NFL quarterback Tony Romo — a three-time winner — was at 18 with Oklahoma City Thunder player Alex Caruso. Fish, also the 2020 winner, was at 17 with former pitcher John Smoltz and former LPGA Tour star Annika Sorenstam. Charles Barkley holed out for eagle from 88 yards on the par-4 second in a nine-point round. He was tied for 24th in the 90-player field. 'I had a great day today,' Barkley said. 'I had a lot of fun. I played with Nate Bargatze and Larry the Cable Guy, two of the best dudes. But I've put a lot of time and effort in, and I was very happy with the way I played today.' Curry played alongside father Dell and brother Seth. 'It was obviously fun playing with my dad and my brother, the matching outfits and everything, getting the vibes going,' Stephen Curry said. 'As average as I think I played, I held the big numbers out, which allows you to stay relevant. Excited for tomorrow.'
