表示原因的介词短语 “owing to ...” 和 “ due to ...” 都可以做状语。如：
The ambassador was absent owing to (= due to) illness. 大使因病缺席。（《韦氏高阶英汉双解词典》p.1488）
表示原因的介词短语 “owing to ...” 不能作表语， “ due to ...” 则可以。例如，《麦克米伦高阶英汉双解词典》（p.1491）指出：
owing to 和 due to 都表示“因为”。 除了 due to 能用在动词 to be 后以外，这两个短语的用法完全一样：Their failure wes due to a lack of care and attention . (Not: was owing to) 他们的失败是由于不够细心和专注造成的。 ( 不能用 owing to)
所以，这个句子是错误的：His success was owing to his mother.
