Catriona Matthew matches Singapore

par 0f 72 in HSBC tournament


Americans Paula Creamer and Jane Park and Brazil's Angela Park shared the lead on five-under-ar 67 at the end of the first round of the $2 million HSBC Women's Champions at Tana Merah Country Club, Garden Course, Changi in Singapore.
Lorena Ochoa, the defending champion and world No. 1 ranked player, is joint sixth on 69.

Catriona Matthew, expecting her second child and a winner in Brazil earlier this year, is on the par-72 mark, two ahead of fellow-Scot Janice Moodie.

Laura Davies' worrying slump in form continues. She had a nine-over-par 81.
