This made him the first player from Singapore to win a European Tour event, and earned him a two-year exemption into the European Tour.[3]

Mamat was the first Singaporean to play in The Open Championship when he qualified in 1997.[4] He has also won several minor professional tournaments and was a member of the winning Rest of Asia team at the 2005 Dynasty Cup.
