Meja Örtengren (born 3 January 2005) is a Swedish amateur golfer.^[1] In 2022, 17 years old, she was part of the Swedish team winning the Espirito Santo Trophy and was tied individual leader. During 2022, she also captured her first win in a professional tournament, the Swedish PGA Championship.^[2]^[3]

Amateur career

Örtengren started playing golf at age 4 and was a licensed player by 7. She started competing at age 10 and played in her first Swedish Golf Tour event at 14, the Hoya Ladies Open at Flommen Golf Club, where she held the lead after round one.^[4]

Örtengren joined the National Team and played in the 2019 and 2020 European Young Masters. She was part of the Swedish team earning the silver medal at the 2020 European Girls' Team Championship at Hrubá Borša, Slovakia.^[5]

In 2021, she won the German Girls Open and the Annika Invitational Europe, both qualifying events for the Junior Solheim Cup. As a result, she was tapped by captain Annika Sörenstam to represent Europe at the 2021 Junior Solheim Cup, held in conjunction with the 2021 Solheim Cup at Sylvania Country Club in Toledo, Ohio.^[6]

She came close to winning her first professional event at the GolfUppsala Open on the LET Access Series in August 2021, missing to join a playoff with Kajsa Arwefjäll and Sofie Bringner by one stroke to finish third.^[7] A week later, she was in contention at the Anna Nordqvist Västerås Open on the same tour after an opening round of 64, but ultimately finished tied for sixth.^[8]

Örtengren was runner-up at the French International Lady Juniors Amateur Championship in November 2021 and rounded off the season by winning the AJGA's 44th annual Rolex Tournament of Champions at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with a six-stroke victory over Alexa Pano.^[9]^[10]

In May 2022, Örtengren, still an amateur, captured her first win in a professional tournament, the Swedish PGA Championship Trelleborg on the LET Access Series after a playoff with Zhen Bontan.^[11]

In August 2022, Örtengren won the Espirito Santo Trophy at Le Golf National in France together with Ingrid Lindblad and Louise Rydqvist, where she also recorded the lowest individual score, tied with Helen Briem and Rose Zhang.^[12]

In November 2022, Örtengren successfully defended her 2021 victory at the 45th Rolex Tournament of Champions at TPC San Antonia with a of 15 under par 72-hole score of 273.^[13]

At the 2023 European Ladies' Team Championship at Tawast Golf & Country Club in Hämeenlinna, Finland, Örtengren was the individual leader at the 36-hole qualifying round.

In August 2023, Örtengren chose to not defend her title at the Swedish PGA Championship in favour of playing the Girls Amateur Championship at Ganton Golf Club and Fulford Golf Club in Yorkshire, England. She led the 36-hole stroke-play qualifying competition with a 12-under-par score of 136, five strokes ahead of nearest competitor. However, Örtengren lost to Martina Navarro Navarro on the 20th hole in the semi-final after coming back from 5 holes down after 11 holes.^[14]

In April 2024, she won the European Nations Cup – Copa Sotogrande with the Swedish team by 17 strokes ahead of England in second, and she was runner-up for the individual title behind only her compatriot Elin Pudas Remler.^[15]^[16] In May, she made her international LET debut at the Amundi German Masters, where she sat in second place after the first round, and was the only other amateur to make the cut alongside Helen Briem.
