Pace was born in Paarl, Western Cape. She had a successful amateur collegiate career in the United States, where she attended Murray State University and the University of Tulsa, graduating with a degree in psychology.
Having turned professional in 2005, Pace played on the second tier Duramed Futures Tour in 2006 before qualifying for the LPGA Tour for 2007 at qualifying school. Having lost her card in the United States at the end of 2007, she qualified for the Ladies European Tour for 2008 via qualifying school. She made her breakthrough in 2010 with five wins at the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open, the S4C Wales Ladies Championship of Europe, the Finnair Masters, the Sanya Ladies Open, and the Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open. She ended the season at the top of the Order of Merit and won the LET Player of the Year.
After failing to win in 2012, Pace had another big season in 2013. Pace won her sixth Ladies European Tour event in May when she took a one stroke victory at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open. She followed that victory up with another in July, again winning by a stroke, at the Open De España Femenino. She concluded the 2013 season by winning in a playoff at the Sanya Ladies Open. The victory was her eighth on tour and netted her a second LET Player of the Year award. In October 2014, Pace would win her ninth LET event when she was victorious in her home country, winning the Cell C South African Women's Open, in a playoff, after a final round comeback. A week later, Pace won her first LPGA Tour event at the Blue Bay LPGA in China.
