It’ll be a family affair next summer at Southern Hills. There will also be plenty of good-natured ribbing going on.
Rachel Kuehn, one of the top women’s college golfers and a member of the defending NCAA champions Wake Forest, is set to tee it up with her mom Brenda Corrie Kuehn in the 2024 U.S. Women’s Amateur in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
