Amateur career

Lewton played college golf in the United States at North Carolina State University from 2002 to 2006, winning twice. [1] He was runner-up in the 2006 European Amateur behind Rory McIlroy.

Professional career

Lewton turned professional in 2008. In 2010 he joined the Challenge Tour, finishing 80th in the season-end standings with a best result of T5. That winter he came through the qualifying school to secure a place on the European Tour; however after a difficult debut season he failed to retain his playing card.

For the 2012 season, he opted to take a place on the Asian Tour after earning his card in qualifying school. [2] He played primarily on the Asian Tour from 2012 to 2017. His best season was 2014 when he won the Mercuries Taiwan Masters and finished tied for 4th place in the Solaire Open.
