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.

Cristie Kerr, 47, wins for the first time in eight years at LPGA Legends Championship
Cristie Kerr hoisted a trophy for the first time in eight years this weekend at the LPGA Legends Championship. The two-time major winner and former No. 1 celebrated in style on husband Erik Stevens' 60th birthday. 'It's been a long time since I won a tournament, and it's never easy to win on any tour. To have my friends and family here, and to be able to get my first win in front of my youngest son, Griffin … I'll take it to the grave,' said Kerr, who won 20 times on the LPGA. 'It is just so special. My other friends and family that spent the entire week of their time with us to come out and support, it was really worth it. It was amazing.' Kerr's closing 70 at the Copper Rock Golf Course in Hurricane, Utah, put her at 6 under for the tournament and two strokes clear of the field. Former LPGA player Moira Dunn-Bohls finished second while Maria McBride placed solo third at 3 under. Last year, Kerr finished runner-up to Angela Stanford at the LPGA Legends Championship, three back. Kerr, 47, recently played on the Epson Tour close to home in Scottsdale and finished 10th with her husband on the bag. She also played in the LPGA's Arizona stop – the Ford Championship – this spring, where she missed the cut. 'I don't play full-time on tour anymore," said Kerr, "and I said if I wanted to have a chance here and also at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, that I needed to get more reps and made myself do it. Got a top 10 at the Carlisle Arizona Women's Golf Classic in Scottsdale, where I live, with my husband on the bag, so it's been a pretty good couple of weeks.'
