In Europe, he won the 2021 German Boys Open and the Czech International Amateur Championship for three straight years from 2021 to 2023.

In 2025, he became the first Czech player to win the European Amateur, where a final round 67 (−5) at Vasatorp Golf Club in Sweden helped him to a 3-shot victory. The win earned him a start in the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club.[2]
