With a new baby boom hitting the LPGA, Laura Diaz showed all the new mothers and moms-to-be how to do it Friday at the ShopRite Classic.

Diaz, 43, a two-time LPGA winner who is a part-time player now, took the early lead in the morning wave with a 5-under-par 66. She did so with her 12-year-old son, Cooper, on her bag as caddie in her first start this year.

“It’s more special because I have my son with me,” Diaz said. “It’s a calming influence. I spent more time worrying about him.”

It was the lowest round Diaz has posted in four years on tour, but she hasn’t been a full-time player since 2015.
