Amateur career
[edit]De Bock has enjoyed a successful amateur career. She won her first international championship, the 2017 Orange Bowl Doral-Publix Junior Golf Classic in Miami, when she was only 12. In 2018 and 2019, she was runner-up at the Belgian National Juniors Championship, and won the event in 2021. In 2020, she was runner-up at the CJGA World Junior Challenge, run by the Canadian Junior Golf Association, behind Chloe Chan of Hong Kong.[1]
In 2021, she was runner-up at the European Young Masters in Finland, 2 strokes behind Helen Briem. She won the Belgian International Amateur Championship & National Stroke Play Championship back-to-back in 2021 and 2022.[1]
In 2022, only 16 years old, she triumphed at the European Ladies Amateur, winning in a playoff against Charlotte Heath of England, becoming just the second Belgian to win the title after Florence Descampe in 1988.[2] The win earned her a place in the field at the 2022 Women's British Open, where she did not make the cut.[3] She finished tied 14th and low amateur at The Mithra Belgian Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour.[4]
In 2023, she was runner-up at the Junior Orange Bowl International behind Anna Davis,[5] and again at the Spanish International Ladies Amateur Championship losing 2 & 1 to Nora Sundberg of Sweden. She has accepted a golf scholarship to the University of Georgia and will start playing with the Georgia Bulldogs women's golf team in the spring of 2024.[6]
