It's all about the Pace

On top of this, Pace’s triumph at Westlake shot her to the top of the 2021 LET Race to Costa del Sol and earned her the first of four spots into the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open.
Longer format and handsome purse attracts more international talent
The event was the season opener for the Ladies European Tour and the Sunshine Ladies Tour season finale. The field comprised of 120 lady professional golfers.
The flagship event of the tour carried a prize fund of €200 000 (approximately R3.6-million), and a tournament winners category exemption for the remainder of the 2021 and 2022 Ladies European Tour season.
