Lee-Anne Pace is very successful on both the LET and LPGA Tour. After turning professional in 2005, she hit her straps in 2010, winning five times in Europe and claiming both the LET Order of Merit and Player of the Year. In 2013 she won another three times there, the only player to do so, and was the first female golfer to win the Golfer of the Year in South Africa. Playing between both tours in 2014, she posted her ninth LET victory, at the C Cell South African Women’s Open, and a week later nailed her first LPGA Tour victory at the Blue Bay LPGA, becoming only the second South African to win on this tour. A very accomplished, experienced golfer who knows how to win.
