Mason Howell has had quite a year. Before he even began his senior year in high school, the talented 18-year-old chalked up a decisive 7 & 6 win over Jackson Herrington at the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship at Olympic Club. That victory made him the third youngest winner in the U.S. Amateur’s history, earning him exemptions to play in the 2026 Masters, U.S. Open, and the Open Championship. Now, how was your summer break?
The U.S. Junior Amateur medalist’s successful spring/summer campaign saw him shooting a pair of 63s with 18 birdies and 18 pars in the mix to qualify for the 2025 U.S. Open, making Mason—at 17 years old—the youngest player in this year’s field. He also qualified for the 2025 U.S. Walker Cup team at Cypress Point and is one of 18 players invited to Florida to practice for the 2026 Walker Cup Match.
Now in his senior year at Brookwood High School in Thomasville, Georgia, Mason calls nearby Glen Arven Country Club his home course. He’ll play as a freshman for the University of Georgia in the fall of ’26.
We’re thrilled that Mason is on Team H&B—we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented young player.
