NEW MUM CATRIONA SHARES LEAD
IN SAFEWAY INTERNATIONAL
AT SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN

Motherhood obviously brings the best out of Catriona Matthew the golfer.
The North Berwick player looked in very good nick indeed considering she was making a comeback after taking a seven-month break from the LPGA Tour to give birth to her first child.
On a blustery day that must have reminded her of her native Scotland, Catriona shot a 4-under 68 for a share of the lead with Young Jo in the suspended first round of the Safeway International over the Superstition Mountain Golf Club's Prospector Course.
"You don't know what to expect coming out here, since I haven't played for a while," Matthew said.
Lorena Ochoa and Mi Hyun Kim were a stroke back and Beth Bader and Gloria Park were two strokes off the lead.
Seventy-two players were still on the course when play was suspended because of darkness at 6:06 p.m. Rain and lightning delayed play for about two hours.
Mrs Matthew is playing in her first tournament since last August, when she withdrew after one round from the Wendy's Championship for Children in Dublin, Ohio.
She was pregnant with her first child at the time. After giving birth to daughter Katie three months ago, she went back to work on her game at North Berwick. Her off-season training paid off immediately.
"After such a long lay-off, I've been practising well," said Catriona, who has two LPGA Tour victories, the last coming in 2004.
She birdied the par-4 first hole, hitting a 7-iron from 164 yards to 10 feet and making the putt.
That was the first of the Scot's six birdies. She also had two bogeys, one with a three-putt on the par-5 13th hole.
"I went out there and got off to a good start, which was very important, considering I hadn't had a tour round for seven months," said Catriona.
