PARTNER CADDIE
Her partner Jason McDede began working as a caddie for US golfer Nelly Korda at the start of the 2018 LPGA Tour season. At the 2019 Swinging Skirts LPGA tournament in Chinese Taipei, Korda beat Masson to the title in a sudden death play-off. "It was cool and special. I'm quite happy to see them win. I'm proud of the two of them, the way they work together, and hopefully I get another chance to beat them down the stretch in the next few years."
