The LPGA has implemented a new policy to speed up the pace of play. 

The tour will penalize and fine players who exceed the time limit to hit a shot. If someone is one to five seconds over, they will receive a fine, six to 12 seconds will get a one-stroke penalty and 16 seconds or more will be handed a two-stroke deduction. These sanctions will take effect at the Ford Championship on March 27.
