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 playoff.

Du Toit then birdied the first playoff 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 metres 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.
