The 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship was played at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, from March 31 – April 3. This was the 40th edition of the Kraft Nabisco Championship and its 29th year as a women's major golf championship.
Stacy Lewis shot 69 (−3) in the final round to win her first major, three strokes ahead of runner-up Yani Tseng, the defending champion, 54-hole leader, and number one player in the women's world rankings. It was also her first official victory on the LPGA Tour.[2]
Lewis had the 36-hole lead at 135 (−9), but lost five strokes on Saturday to Tseng, who fired a 66 (−6) for 204 (−12) and a two-stroke lead entering the final round, and Lewis joined her in the final pairing.[3]
