Danielle du Toit Claims Dramatic Playoff Victory to Win NTT Data Ladies Pro-Am

Danielle du Toit stared down seasoned champion Lee-Anne Pace to claim her maiden Sunshine Ladies Tour win in a playoff to win the NTT Data Ladies Pro-Am, on Fancourt’s Montagu course in George on Sunday, 16 February, 2025. 

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 held her nerve to birdie the first playoff hole and 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.”

2025 NTT Data Ladies Pro-Am Champion, Danielle du Toit

“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. 

Swaziland’s 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.
