World number one Yani Tseng of Taiwan heads the field for this week’s Lorena Ochoa Invitational, and she’s happy to have a chance to catch up with the tournament host — who’s about to become a mother.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“(Her belly) is huge,” Tseng said of Ochoa, who will make her presence felt this week outside the ropes. “I guess it’s a boy. I was really happy to see her. I wish she could play, but I’m very happy to see her going to have a baby soon. She looks very happy.”<\/p>\n

Ochoa, the longtime world number one, bid farewell to LPGA competition last year to start a family. Her first child, a boy, is due in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Tseng, 22<\/strong>, arrives in Mexico after victories in the LPGA’s Taiwan Championship and the Ladies European Tour Suzhou Taihu Ladies in China.<\/p>\n

She has won 11 titles worldwide this season, including seven LPGA titles and major titles at the Women’s British Open and the LPGA Championship.<\/p>\n

“This is a really tough golf course,” Tseng said. “You are hitting all different shots on this golf course, hitting 14 clubs.<\/p>\n

Michelle Wie<\/strong>, whose 2009 victory here was the first of her two LPGA Tour title sto date, withdrew last year with a back injury afer a first-round 78.<\/p>\n

She’s looking forward to trying to regain the crown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This tournament is very special to me,” Wie said. “Obviously, having my family here is pretty cool. I love this golf course. Unfortunately, it was very sad last year that I couldn’t finish four rounds.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully, this year, I’m feeling good. The weather is great. The golf course is awesome, as always. I’m very excited.”<\/p>\n

Defending champion In-Kyung Kim closed with an eight-under par 64 last year en route to a tournament record 19-under par winning total.<\/p>\n
