NORTH BERWICK golfer Catriona Matthew takes part in the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore starting tomorrow ? her last event before the birth of her second child in May.
The 39-year-old won her sixth career title at the HSBC Brasil Cup in Rio de Janeiro in January, and she is intending to make it just a short break before returning to the very top of the world's game.
"The baby is due towards the end of May and I

hope to be back playing at the Evian Masters in France at the end of July," she explained. "Another goal is to be fit enough to be considered for the Solheim Cup in America at the end of August."
Matthew has already played in three Solheims, gained Europe's winning point in Sweden in 2003 and she was one of the best home players at Helsingborg two years ago.
She hopes to do enough to convince Captain Alison Nicholas that she is worthy of a wild card.
Currently ranked No.43 in the world, she said: "There's really no chance of me getting one of the automatic picks (she would need to be one of the top four Europeans in the world rankings] but I would like to think that I'll be considered for a captain's wild card."
Matthew has competed full-time on the US-based LPGA Tour for the past 14 seasons, and her husband Graeme is her caddie. For the past two years, their daughter, Katie, has been alongside them on Tour.
The Matthews already know that it is a second daughter who will be the new addition in May.
not sure if any books have lines on her

Given that they tee'd off about 2.5 hours before this post, its unlikely there were too many lines around.
