Danielle du Toit stared down seasoned champion Lee-Anne Pace to claim her maiden Sunshine Ladies Tour win in a play-off on Fancourt’s Montagu course on Sunday during the NTT Data Ladies Pro-Am.
Du Toit carded a five-under par 67 final round to take her to 10-under and secure the tournament lead. Pace then birdied the par five 18th hole with a final round score of four-under-par 68 to draw level on 10-under for the tournament and to force the play-off.
Du Toit then birdied the first play-off hole to secure her breakthrough win on the Sunshine Ladies Tour.
“Going up against Lee-Anne Pace, Nobuhle (Dlamini) and all those players you have to put a low round together but I had already played a bogey-free round on the first day, so I was going out there to try and replicate that and hopefully make a few more putts.
“I clubbed up a little bit and then proceeded to push it 10 meters straight over the flag. I think the most never-wrecking shot was the last putt downhill right to left. I am just super stoked it went in.”
Norway’s Tina Mazarino finished her final round with a level-par 72 and seven-under par for the tournament to claim the third position. Nobuhle Dlamini - who led the tournament for the first two rounds - had a disappointing two-over par 74 final round to finish tied fourth with England’s Florentyna Parker.
