Julia Engström (born 27 March 2001) is a Swedish amateur golfer.
Engström was introduced to golf by her parents aged two, and she had her first golf set at age four. Watching the 2007 Solheim Cup take place in her home town of Halmstad at age six inspired her and by the age of thirteen she was a scratch player.[1]
In 2014, at age 13, Engström made her debut appearance on the Ladies European Tour after receiving an invitation to play in the Helsingborg Open at Vasatorp Golf Club.[2] Linda Wessberg, member of the 2007 Solheim Cup European team, was at the time out of action with a broken arm and acted as her mentor.[1]
In 2016, at age 15, Engström became the youngest player to win the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship,[3] earning her starts at the 2016 U.S. Women's Open,[4] the 2016 Women's British Open,[5] and the 2016 Evian Championship.[6]
