European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley has hailed how plans to speed up the sport got off to a positive start during the recent Desert Swing, where round times were up to 19 minutes quicker. A new Pace of Play policy was introduced at the start of the year to identify slow players, with the aim to make the game more appealing to fans either at the course or watching on television.As well as the ability to still officially time players, referees now can issue a monitoring penalty for slow play, with world No 1 Jordan Spieth the first recipient during his opening round in Abu Dhabi. Pelleys pledge was to try and reduce round times by 15 minutes, with the new guidelines having an immediate affect at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, Qatar Masters and the Dubai Desert Classic.The measures saw average round times drop by five minutes during Abu Dhabi compared to the previous years event, while rounds in Qatar were more 10 minutes quicker than they were in similar windy conditions in 2012. Spieth took too long to line up his putt during the opening round in Abu Dhabi The biggest change came in the last group times, which were 19 minutes and 14 seconds quicker in Qatar compared to four years ago, meaning an earlier finish time for the tournament. It is terrific to see the policy has had an immediate effect, even though we are still in the early stages of its implementation, Pelley said. We said before our new measures were introduced in Abu Dhabi that we wanted to take the lead on pace of play.I am also pleased that our members have reacted positively to this change. We are continually striving to make our product even more appealing and entertaining for our fans and this is a good starting point. Chief referee John Paramor looking out for players playing too slowly There is no quick fix for slow play, but this new policy is aimed at empowering our referees to more effectively target the problem and I believe we will see even more inroads made over the coming weeks and months.A total of 95 groups were monitored during the three early-season events, with Spieth one of only five players to be handed a monitoring penalty.Daniel Brooks (Abu Dhabi, round two), Benjamin Hebert (Abu Dhabi, round four), Eddie Pepperell (Dubai, round one) and Gavin Green (Dubai, round two) complete the group, with those five now set to receive a fine for each monitoring penalty they receive during the rest of the season. Gary Christian believes stroke penalties and not fines are the only way to address the issue of slow play on the golf course The fines will increase for each following monitoring penalties, with players punished if they exceed the time allowed for a shot - 50 seconds if first to play and 40 seconds thereafter.It is important to note that our referees now have the ability to apply monitoring penalties if they see a player take an excessive amount of time over a shot, even if their group is in position on the course, so our players are now more aware than ever that slow play is unacceptable, Pelley added.Watch the European Tour throughout the season live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: Tour cracks down on slow play R&A: Slow play a top issue Spieth hit by slow play warning Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Yeezy 350 Scontate Outlet . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.

Washington suffered its first loss of the season last week, but its hopes still flicker for a berth in the College Football Playoff.The seventh-ranked Huskies (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12) still control their destiny in the Pac-12 North, needing to beat struggling Arizona State (5-5, 2-5) at home on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX) before finishing the regular season at division-leading Washington State.We do just need to respond, said Washington coach Chris Petersen, whose team lost 26-13 at home to USC last weekend.I hope our guys have a new edge to them a little bit, but I do think theyve done a good job all season long, like Ive been saying, about preparing. They played hard. Both sides played really, really hard. It wasnt about that at all.Washingtons weak nonconference schedule -- Rutgers, Idaho, Portland State -- continues to be an issue as the Huskies now need help to reach the playoff. But they have a chance to impress late in the season, by beating the Cougars and then facing a ranked champion from the Pac-12 South, possibly even getting a rematch against USC.But first up is Arizona State, which has lost four games in a row, allowing at least 37 points in each of them. The Sun Devils have given up 103 total points to Oregon and Utah in the past two outings.Allowing explosive plays has been at the forefront of ASUs undoing.The Sun Devils have allowed 64 plays of 20-plus yards (tied for 121st out of 128 teams nationally), 34 plays of 30-plus yards (123rd), 24 plays of 40-plus yards (127th), 16 plays of 50-plus yards (127th) and 11 plays of 60-plus yards (tied for 126th).For more evidence, see last weeks 49-26 home loss to Utah.The Utes scored on a 64-yard pass, a 27-yard pass, a 17-yard pass, an 82-yard run, a 24-yard pass and a 40-yard run.The story of the whole game, when you go back and look at the film, my only impression is just big plays, said coach Todd Graham. Thats been the big deal. Its just frustrating.Although stonewalled by USC, Washington has all kinds of explosive potential. The Huskies scored 70 against Oregon and 66 vs. Cal this season. The trio of wide receiver John Ross, running back Myles Gaskin and quarterback Jake Browning can provide plenty of fireworks.Browning, after completing 17 of 36 passes for 259 yards with one touchdown and two innterceptions against USC, dropped from first to third nationally in passing efficiency with a rating of 189.dddddddddddd1.Gaskin was held to 51 yards rushing on 15 carries last week, but he did go over 1,000 yards for the season and is averaging 6.0 yards per carry. Ross, one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nations top wideout, picked up his 15th touchdown reception of the season last week.Ross is probably the most dynamic player in our league, Graham said. I would say explosive plays and defense are the two things when I think of them.Washingtons defense has been superb, ranking ninth nationally in points allowed (17.9 per game) and 19th in total defense (336.8). The Huskies lead the nation in turnover margin (plus 1.5 per game).But Washington is now without two of its top two defenders against the run. Linebacker Joe Mathis (foot) was already out for the season and linebacker Azeem Victor suffered a foot injury last week that will keep him sidelined.Redshirt freshman DJ Beavers will replace Victor, who has a team-high 68 tackles.I think he filled in pretty well, Petersen said of Beavers.He made some tackles, played aggressive, played tough. Its hard when you lose a player like Azeem, for sure, but it was not like this, Oh, now we have no chance type of thing. He was right there playing physical.Arizona State has some weapons on offense, although quarterback Manny Wilkins, who has dealt with injuries in recent weeks, looked rusty Saturday against Utah, throwing two interceptions and being sacked nine times.Arizona State uses running back Kalen Ballage in a variety of ways, including taking direct snaps. He is coming off his second consecutive game with 200-plus all-purpose yards, rolling up 244 against Utah -- a career-high 118 receiving, 46 rushing and 80 in the return game.Wide receiver NKeal Harry, a talented true freshman, is coming off his best game. He had eight catches for a career-high 114 yards, rushed for 31 yards on a broken play after he dropped a lateral, and completed a 46-yard pass. Hell have interesting matchups this week against Washington cornerbacks Sidney Jones and Kevin King. ' ' '
