LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – Catriona Matthew is an inspiration for the players among the baby boom hitting the LPGA today.
Matthew is the last mom to win a major championship.
She won the Ricoh Women’s British Open just 11 weeks after giving birth to her second daughter, Sophie. She won it in 2009 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, host to the championship again this week.
“At the time, I didn't really, probably, appreciate what a big deal it was,” Matthew said. “But now, looking back, I suppose you can realize what an amazing feat it really was.”
