Make that three USGA medals for the Kuehn family.
Wake Forest junior Rachel Kuehn shot 5-under 67 Tuesday at Westchester Country Club in Rye, N.Y., to finish the stroke-play portion of the U.S. Women’s Amateur at 6 under and capture medalist honors. Kuehn’s achievement came more than two decades after her mother, Brenda Corrie Kuehn, won medalist honors at the 1995 and 1996 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateurs.
With her brother, Corrie, on her bag, Kuehn also earned the top seed for match play, which begins with the Round of 64 on Wednesday. Kuehn will face off against Marissa Wenzler, who joined Jensen Castle as the two players to advance out of a 12-for-2 playoff.
