Taking the Champion's Leap at the Kraft Nabisco

Wednesday April 2, 2008
kraft nabisco champion's leap That's Morgan Pressel in the water next to the 18th green of the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif. That's where the Kraft Nabisco Championship is played annually. And annually, the winner of the tournament does what Pressel did after she won: they jump in the lake.

It's known as the Champion's Leap and it's an annual tradition - although one that doesn't date back all that far.

Pressel took a couple people into the water with her (her grandmother and her caddie). Others have jumped in tandem, too, but many have gone solo. How did the tradition of the Champion's Leap get started at the KNC? Check our latest FAQ for the answer.
