[5] The 2009 tournament was played at the Houstonian Golf and Country Club in Richmond, Texas, southwest of Houston.

Anna Nordqvist of Sweden finished the 54 holes at 13-under par, carding a 65 in the third round on Monday for a two stroke-victory over runner-up Lorena Ochoa.

The tournament was originally planned as a 72-hole event, but November weather intervened; Friday's second round was delayed and then curtailed by darkness, and weekend play was canceled due to rain.

Maria Hjorth of Sweden shot a final round 72 to finish at 283 (-5) and won by a single stroke over runner-up Amy Yang.

[8] The field was made up of the top 120 players on the LPGA official money list following the Mizuno Classic in November.
