Kraft Nabisco Championship Final Round Update

Congratulations to Brittany Lincicome!

In order to win her first major championship Lincicome had to battle her nerves and two other golfers, Cristie Kerr and Kristy McPherson. In the end, she was up to the task.

Lincicome carded a three-under-par 69 in the final round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills Country Club for a 72-hole total of nine-under 279. Kerr, the 2007 United States Women’s Open champion, sank her birdie attempt on 18 to finish with a one-under 71. McPherson, who started the day one stroke ahead of Kerr and two in front of Lincicome, made a par on the last hole for a 72.

Not only did she win but she won with what could be the greatest shot in the history of the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Lincicome’s shot to five feet from the pin – over water, to an island green, trailing by one stroke – from 210 yards with a hybrid was simply spectacular.

Paula Creamer also finished up with a final round of three-under-par 69. Unfortunately her third round 77 ended any chance she had of winning her first major championship. The tough conditions and the fact that she is still struggling with the stomach ailment made this a very difficult week for Paula.

Here is how the leaderboard looked after Sunday’s final round:

Brittany Lincicome -9
Cristie Kerr -8
Kristy McPherson -8
Lindsey Wright -6
Suzann Pettersen -5
Meaghan Francella -5
