Graeme McDowell revealed he and his wife Kristin are expecting their first child – a girl.

McDowell, who is contesting this week’s $US 6m Honda Classic, indicated Kristin presented the former US Open winner with the news earlier in the week.

“We found on Tuesday it’s a girl,” said McDowell following his second round.

“Obviously, we’re real excited…. “I think we’re planning to have her, if all goes well, the Monday of Boston if she decides to stay in there that long.

“It’s a great problem to have. I really don’t care when she comes, as long as she’s healthy.

The playoffs into the Ryder Cup … not much you can do there. But if it affects the playoffs, then it affects the playoffs. There will be other playoffs. You only have your first kid once.”
