# 2009 Kraft Nabisco Championship

The 2009 Kraft Nabisco Championship was played April 2–5 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. This was the 38th edition of the Kraft Nabisco Championship and the 27th as a women's major golf championship.
Brittany Lincicome, age 23, eagled the final hole to win her first major, one stroke ahead of runner-up Cristie Kerr; the victory was her third on the LPGA Tour. Down a stroke on the 72nd hole, Lincicome's second shot at the 485-yard (443 m) par-5 stopped within four feet (1.2 m) of the flagstick and she sank the putt. Defending champion Lorena Ochoa finished eight strokes back, tied for twelfth.
