Lee-Anne Pace

Won her fourth South African Open at the age of 40 in 2021 and then made a successful defence the following May.

With the event being co-sanctioned it gave the 2010 Ladies European Tour Order of Merit No 1 her 11th title on the circuit 12 years after her first success in Switzerland. Also had success on the LPGA Tour at the 2014 Blue Bay tournament, where she finished three clear of Caroline Masson.

Graduated with a degree in psychology at the University of Tulsa before turning professional in 2005. Five years later had no fewer than five wins on the LET, then three more in 2013, but her only top 10 finish in the majors remains her tie for sixth at the 2015 Evian Championship.
