One-hole defeat for O’Sullivan
Mason came into the match play event with a £20,486 lead over Scotland’s Bill Longmuir and he extended that advantage to £33,986 after overcoming a late charge from the former Irish Amateur champion.
Mason recorded three consecutive birdies from the 13th on his way to defeating Denis Durnian in the semi-finals but he must have thought that the boot was on the other foot when O’Sullivan birdied both the 354-yard 16th and the 361-yard 17th to get back to all square at the Los Flamingos course near Malaga.
