Mason plays his ‘finest round ever’

ENGLAND’S Carl Mason upstaged both Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson when he carded a six-under-par 64 to claim a one-shot lead at the end of the second round of the Senior British Open at Turnberry yesterday.

Mason was paired with the two American legends for the first two rounds, but left them in the shade.

The former Scottish Open champion returned 67 and 64 for a nine-under-par 131, two shots ahead of Watson and four in front of Nicklaus.
