Victory for France's Delacour

Perrine Delacour claimed her second victory on the Ladies European Tour (LET) when she won the Investec South African Women’s Open by two shots at Erinvale Country & Golf Estate.

In an exciting final round, Delacour sealed the deal with two crucial birdies in her final four holes closing with 70 on 14 under par.

South African Casandra Alexander took second place with 12 under par.

Australia’s Kelsey Bennett and England’s Bronte Law shared third place on 11 under par.

I’m really happy because I sometimes struggle mentally and this proved I can win on tour even when not leading after nine holes, or being tied after nine holes. I trusted myself and got it done.

Investec Order of Merit

Over and above the substantial prize purse on offer through the Investec SA Women's Open there's an additional opportunity to walk away with R200,000 through the Investec Order of Merit.

The Investec Order of Merit is based on a points system, and the top three placed professionals on the final Investec Order of Merit gain automatic entry into the 2026 Investec SA Women’s Open. 

In order to qualify for the Investec Order of Merit bonus prize, players must have competed in at least four events in the 2025 Sunshine Ladies Tour season.

South Africa’s Casandra Alexander claimed this year’s Investec Order of Merit. Alexander had the best season of her career where she didn’t finish outside the top five in seven tournaments, including a win and three runner-up finishes.

“I feel like I really earned it this year. My team and I have worked so hard to get me in the right place to be able to play any golf course in any condition at any time," she said.

And South Africa’s Gia Raad walked away with the Jackie Mercer trophy as the leading amateur. Raad was the only amateur to make the cut and closed with a 75 to finish on level par.
