SAINT-ETIENNE 3, LILLE 1At 0-0 the match was going reasonably

European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley has confirmed there will be widespread changes to the West Course at Wentworth in a bid to restore a world-class field to the BMW PGA Championship. The layout and the condition of the course has come in for criticism in recent years, while difficulties in scheduling have also contributed to the likes of Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia all opting to miss the event this week.But Pelley insisted the tournament remains a premium event on the European Tour schedule, and he denied reports that the event could be moved away from Wentworth in the near future. Many players have skipped the BMW PGA this week because they dont like the course At a press conference during the final round, Pelley said: Wentworth is majestic and has an aura about it that is simply astounding. And when you drive up and see the magical building, you quickly become inspired, so we have every intention to be at Wentworth for a long period of time. This is the home of the BMW PGA Championship.But we have to significantly improve the golf course, and that is a critical component to it. Ive talked to a number of players, and you all know that there are a number of players that arent here because they dont want to play this golf course. Rory McIlroy won the Irish Open last week, but he pulled out of the BMW PGA due to his packed schedule Im convinced, Im confident, what Reignwood (the Wentworth owners) has planned will bring this back to the Harry Colt design and the Harry Colt magic that once made this the place where players want to play. This is a premium event, and will always be a premium event. Our goal is to have a number of premium, world-class events, such as this. Were confident that in our plans over the coming months, were going to reveal such. What is important is that we have more premium events. Pelley feels an overhaul of the West Course will once again attract the top players Pelley also hinted that another tournament in Great Britain could be added to the schedule following the success of the return of the British Masters supported by Sky Sports at Woburn last autumn.The success last year of the British Masters certainly showed the appetite of the golfers and the fans in England, added Pelley. They are also incredibly knowledgeable, which is great. Having travelled across the world, its great to see what how the Irish fans, the Scottish fans and the English fans know the game and appreciate it. Pelley is also planning changes to the European Tour schedule So there could be room for another event. I will tell you that is something that we have discussed but we have no concrete plans at this place.Pelley also believes they will be significant changes to the schedule to ease the difficulties of travel for many Tour pros, while he is also determined to persuade more players to stay in Europe rather than join the PGA Tour with better venues and increased prize funds. The Wentworth showpiece remains a He said: The two areas that were focusing on is one, our schedule, not only the 2017 but the 2018 schedule. Our goal is really to make it have far more travel-ease on the players, as well as more playing opportunities for some of our lower-ranked members.Some of the Q-School and some of The Challenge Tour players, had a tough time playing early on in the season. It is something that has not gone unnoticed. It is very critical to us and we are working very feverishly in fixing this and creating additional tournaments, and we are confident that our 2017 schedule will be significantly stronger than 2016. At the same time, the other thing is obviously the migration of some of our top players to the US. That is another key component of our strategy going forward, is providing the best golf courses for our players to play on, the best golf experiences and to increase the prize funds.

PARIS -- Striker Mario Balotelli was rested to protect a sore hip and his replacement Alassane Plea scored the winner as Nice beat struggling Nancy 1-0 Sunday to stay top of the French league.Keeping Thursdays Europa League match at Russian side Krasnodar in mind, Nice coach Lucien Favre thought it best to leave out Balotelli and put other regulars on the bench.Marios hip was hurting so it was too risky ... Well see for Thursday, Favre said. We have a long trip to Krasnodar and the Europa League will take its toll for sure.Balotelli has made a strong start to his career in France, scoring four goals in two league games -- two on his debut against Marseille and two well-taken goals in a 4-0 midweek win against Monaco.Favre has spoken of how the Italian forward, who is reviving his career in France after a failed stint in England with Liverpool and a dismal loan spell at AC Milan, still needs to regain full fitness.This time, Balotelli was not needed as Plea -- who scored when replacing Balotelli against Monaco on Wednesday night -- poked the ball in after midfielder Valentin Eysseric had clipped a pass over the defense.Nancys fans were again left feeling disappointed after a fourth defeat in seven matches, with the promoted club in 19th place.Nice is one point clear of French Riviera rival Monaco after seven games, three in front of Toulouse and four ahead of defending champion Paris Saint-Germain.Its magnificent to have 17 points after seven games, Favre said. But its the matches coming up that count.PSG lost 2-0 at Toulouse on Friday.---MARSEILLE 2, NANTES 1It was third time lucky for captain Bafetimbi Gomis, who struck Marseilles winner from the penalty spot after having missed two clear chances.After defender Enock Kwateng tripped him, Gomis slammed his spot kick straight down the middle in the 53rd minute.Florian (Thauvin) told me he wanted to take it, the 31-year-old Gomis saiid.dddddddddddd But with all my experience, it was my responsibility.Marseilles past two defeats were by 3-2 scores, with Marseille leading 2-1 both times.This time Marseille rallied from 1-0 down to secure a much-needed victory.Nantes pressured heavily at the end, with midfielder Guillaume Gillet striking the crossbar.Earlier, Marseilles defense panicked on a third-minute corner as Polish striker Mariusz Stepinskis header was bundled into the net by forward partner Emiliano Sala.Clinton NJies first goal since joining on loan from English side Tottenham drew Marseille level in the 23rd, and it was a fine finish from 20 meters after Gomis instinctive flick sent him through.Moments later, Gomis curled wide from close range after shrugging off two defenders.I was too greedy on that chance, Gomis said. I wanted to put it far out of the goalies reach.Just after the restart, he was way wide with a spectacular diving header from a corner.Still, with five league goals in seven games since joining from Premier League side Swansea, Gomis is making his mark.---SAINT-ETIENNE 3, LILLE 1At 0-0 the match was going reasonably well for last-place Lille until defender Franck Beria wafted his hand in the air to block a pass over midfield.It was careless and costly, earning Beria a second yellow card. After his sending off in the 43rd minute, 10-man Lille conceded three second-half goals.No wonder under-pressure coach Frederic Antonetti shook his head in annoyance as Beria -- a veteran playing in his 10th season for Lille -- trudged off.Slovenia striker Robert Beric scored his third goal in four games, 18-year-old midfielder Arnaud Nordin got his first career goal and forward Nolan Roux added the third for seventh-place Lille.Veteran defender Renato Civelli got Lilles goal.
