Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame
- Induction:
- 1999
After attending college for one year in her native Dominican Republic, Corrie (now Brenda Corrie Kuehn) enrolled as a sophomore at Wake forest and earned All-ACC accolades two consecutive years. Corrie then turned in her finest year as a Deacon as a senior, winning two regular-season tournament individual titles and leading Wake Forest to the 1986 ACC Championship as medalist. She posted a 10-under 212, the lowest total in the nine-year history of the event at the time. Corrie capped the spring of 1986 by making her third appearance in the NCAA Championships and earning first-team All-America honors.
If her golf career had ended at that point, Corrie would have already deserved her place among the top women's athletes in Wake forest history. However, she has expanded her impact on the game since her graduation from WFU to worldly proportions.
Corrie embarked on a professional career and won her first tournament in 1988, taking the Futures Golf Tour's Chattanooga Classic. She chipped in twice and fired a final-round 66 to win the title.
She later regained her amateur status and became one of the premier players in the United States. Highlights include her participation on the 1996 U.S. World Cup Team and two selections to the Curtis Cup squad. Corrie went 4-0 and scored the winning points in the U.S. victory in 1998, its first in eight years.
Her amateur career has included qualifying for nine U.S. Opens and 13 U.S. Amateurs. She competed in the 2001 U.S. Women's Open while eight months pregnant.
Corrie-Kuehn was the second person from Wake Forest to be inducted into the NGCA Hall of Fame and the first as a player. The other member is current head coach Dianne Dailey, who was inducted in 2001 as a coach
She was inducted into the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame on January 30, 1999. She was elected to the National Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2004.
In 2002, she was named to the ACC's 50th Anniversary team.
