Golf is child’s play for Goosen as he puts thoughts of baby to bed

RETIEF GOOSEN ignored the distractions of fatherhood to make golf look like child’s play again in the final Lancome Trophy at Paris yesterday.

Goosen has yet to win a tournament so far this season and is resigned to losing his status as European number one after two years.

But the South African is on track to maintain his record of at least one victory a year since 1999, after a first-round 63 gave him a one-shot lead over Swede Mikael Lundberg at St Nom-la-Breteche on the outskirts of the French capital.
