2021 Scandinavian Mixed
European Tour
Vallda Golf & Country Club
Stockholm, Sweden
10-13 June 2021
Lee-Anne Pace will be eager to continue her good form when she competes at the Scandinavian Mixed in Stockholm, Sweden.
The South African golfer is among the favourites to win the women's Scandinavian Mixed title this week.
Pace, who has won the Ladies
European Golf Tour Player of the Year award twice in her career, has won 22 professional tournaments.
In 2010, Pace recorded five wins at the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open, S4C Wales Ladies Championship of Europe, Finnair Masters, Sanya Ladies Open and Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open.
Therefore, the Paarl-born golfer ended the 2010 season at the top of the Order of Merit and she won the LET Player of the Year for the first time.
The former University of Tulsa student then won the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open, Open De España Femenino and Sanya Ladies Open in 2013 and she won her second LET Player of the Year award.
Pace will be oozing with confidence after winning last month's Investec South African Women's Open which is part of the Ladies European Tour.
The 40-year-old was ecstatic after she held on to win her fourth national open title when she won the Investec SA Women’s Open title on May 16.

“It’s really very special for me,” said Pace of the tournament which is also part of the Sunshine Ladies Tour.
“I lost it a few years ago here on the same course and I’m really happy to have pulled it off. I’m a bit older now and I’m so happy to win again.
"My last win was in 2014, and now I’m looking forward to a nice season on the Ladies European Tour.”
Lee Westwood and Colin Montgomerie are the most decorated players in the history of the Scandinavian Masters having won three titles each.
