Amateur career

Mansell attended Nova Southeastern University from 2014 to 2017, having previously spent one season at Newberry College. [1] [2]

Professional career

Mansell turned professional in 2017 and began playing on the PGA EuroPro Tour. He claimed his first professional win in July 2019 at the Cobra Puma Championship [3] and the following month began playing on the Challenge Tour via invitations. In 2020, aided by runner-up finishes at the Andalucía Challenge de España and the dual-ranking Euram Bank Open, [4] he finished fourth on the Road to Mallorca Rankings and gained status on the European Tour for the 2021 season. Mansell qualified for the 2021 Open Championship via final qualifying at Holinwell. [5]

In October 2022, Mansell held the 54-hole lead at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. He had a four-shot lead going into Sunday, but a final-round 76 saw him drop to tied-for-seventh place. [6]

In March 2025, Mansell claimed his first European Tour victory at the rain-shortened Porsche Singapore Classic. [7]
