The world number 42 is now only the second professional in Sunshine Ladies Tour history to win back-to-back Investec Order of Merit crowns after Lee-Anne Pace, who won the overall title three seasons in a row in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Alexander enjoyed another impressive season on the Sunshine Ladies Tour in which she competed in two playoffs in the SuperSport Ladies Challenge and Joburg Ladies Open, finishing runner-up in both, as well as her second place in Mauritius.
