Kuehn now has seven career individual titles, third-most in program history.
WILMINGTON, N.C. - Reigning ACC Player of the Year and Wake Forest graduate Rachel Kuehn won her first title of the 2023-24 season Saturday at the ACC Championships.
En route to the team shooting 10-under-par on the final day and 23-under for the stroke play portion, Kuehn also shot 10-under for the week, including two eagles in her final two rounds and three birdies over her final four holes in the second and third rounds.
After shooting even par on the opening day, back-to-back rounds of five-under on the second and third days catapulted Kuehn up the leaderboard. Her 10-under score earned her seventh career title and first postseason individual title.

Coach's Comments
"It's nice to have all six players healthy and able to compete. We continued to get more comfortable on the golf course each day and by the end, I felt like we were back to our original form. Coach Potter and I were thrilled that they were low in the stroke play portion and look forward to match play tomorrow.
We are especially excited for Rachel, to come back her fifth year and to win an ACC individual championship - bringing championships back to Wake Forest - makes for an appreciative coach." - head coach Kim Lewellen
