Following in the footsteps of greatness on the golf course is a familiar path for Rachel Kuehn.
Not long after the Wake Forest standout received her third All-America honors in 2023, she earned the winning point for the Curtis Cup team, an incredible achievement she has done twice. Her mother, Brenda Corrie Kuehn, earned the same winning point for her Curtis Cup team back in 1998.

Stories like Kuehn’s that capture such special moments during a journey will play a significant role at the 2023 Augusta National Women’s Amateur, with the championship not only spotlighting the best women amateur golfers but also helping to inspire the younger generations to go after their dreams—whatever they might be.
