Nelly Korda, Max Homa repost Charley Hull’s ‘ruthless’ fix to cut down slow play

British golfer Charley Hull has found support in Nelly Korda and Max Homa for her “ruthless” solution to cut down slow play. Both the golfers have reposted Hull’s video from a press interview at The ANNIKA on their Instagram stories.
World no. 1 Nelly Korda took home her seventh Tour title of this season at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge event in Florida, while Charley Hull tied for T2. The tournament however suffered from significant slow play as several players including Hull were forced to complete their third rounds in near darkness on Saturday.
This was not the first LPGA Tour event to be marred by pace of play issues and the severe lack of a punishment for the breach means that it certainly won’t be the last. While referees can impose sanctions or fines on players for slow pace, they are rarely applied in elite tournaments.
When asked about potential solutions to slow play, she admittedly had a “ruthless” solution in mind. She said (via Guardian):
“I’m quite ruthless but (my idea would be) if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a two-shot penalty. If you have three of them you lose your Tour card instantly. I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.”
