Amateur career

Van Meijel was a member of the Dutch National Team, and represented the Netherlands three times at the European Boys' Team Championship 2010–2012 and four times at the European Amateur Team Championship 2013–2016. He also played in the Eisenhower Trophy twice, 2014 in Japan and 2016 in Mexico.

In 2012, Van Meijel won the Gran Premio Padova, reached the quarterfinals of the Italian Amateur, and played the Talihade Cup in Argentina. In 2013, he won both the Trompbeker (Dutch National U21 Stroke Play Championship) at the Noord-Nederlandse Golf Club and the Dutch National Stroke Play Championship at Golfclub Houtrak. In June 2014, he won the Brabants Open, which earned him a spot in the KLM Open. [1]

In 2013, Van Meijel enrolled at the University of Memphis and started playing with the Memphis Tigers men's golf team. [2] He won his first college golf tournament, the Shoal Creek Invitational, and his third tournament, the Bridgestone Collegiate. In 2016, he became only the fourth player within the Memphis men's golf program to earn Golf Coaches Association of American (GCAA) Division I All-America honors, joining Hillman Robbins (1954), Greg Powers (1969), and Steve Metz (1986) as All-Americans. [3] He crowned his college career by winning the 2016 Arnold Palmer Cup. [4]

Professional career

At the end of 2016, Van Meijel turned professionals and joined 2017 Alps Tour. After a fourth place in his first tournament, he won his second tournament in Egypt. After six further top-10s, he finished in fourth place in the ranking, and was promoted to the 2018 Challenge Tour. In 2019, he won the Open de Provence and finished in 19th place in the ranking. He earned his European Tour card at Qualifying School just months after securing his maiden Challenge Tour win. [5]

He struggled to make an impact on the European Tour and finished ranked 154th in 2020 and 174th in 2021. [6]
