(Reuters) - Golf world number 17 Paul Casey said it is time for players to "take responsibility" for their slow play and hopes a PGA Tour policy announced on Tuesday will fix the age-old problem.

The policy, effective in April after a three-month education period, will see "habitually slow players" identified using objective data and penalised for taking too long to hit a shot.
