Career

In 1998, he reached the semifinals of The Amateur Championship.[1]

In 1999, Mason turned professional. He joined the second-tier Challenge Tour in 2001 and from 2003 to 2005 he played full-time on the European Tour where his best finish was second in the 2003 Aa St Omer Open. However, he never finished within the top 120 money earners who maintain their tour rights automatically; his best Order of Merit finish was 134th in 2005.

In 2006, Mason returned to playing the Challenge Tour full-time where he recorded his first professional win in 2007 at the Open Mahou de Madrid.
