Kuehn Ties Record, Selected for Fifth Arnold Palmer Cup

NORMAN, Okla. - Wake Forest women's golfer and recent ACC Champion Rachel Kuehn has been selected to her fifth Arnold Palmer Cup, representing the U.S. on Team USA.
Kuehn joins former teammate Emilia Migliaccio as the only players in the history of the event to be selected for the Palmer Cup five times. Wake Forest has had at least one women's golfer selected every year since 2018 (seven years straight).
The 2024 Arnold Palmer Cup will be played July 5-7 at Lahinch Golf Club in Lahinch, Ireland. The 2020 edition was scheduled for Lahinch before the pandemic affected the world and it was moved to December 2020 at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla.
Kuehn is arguably one of the most notable women's golfers to come through Wake Forest. Her ACC Championship last week was her seventh individual title, the third most of any player in program history.
She also joined her mother Brenda Corrie-Kuehn as an ACC Women's Golf Individual Champion, becoming the first-known mother-daughter duo to do so in ACC history. Corrie-Kuehn was an All-American at Wake Forest, is in the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame, and was the ACC Women's Golf Individual Champion in 1986.
Kuehn also holds the lowest four-year scoring average and single-season scoring average in program history with an average of 71.19 from fall 2019-spring 2023 and a single season average of 70.53 from the 2022-23 season.

Arnold Palmer Cup History
In 1997 the Golf Coaches Association of America approached Arnold Palmer regarding lending his name to an international collegiate event between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland. The event would use a Ryder Cup-style format and bring together the top eight collegiate players in the United States against their counterparts from GB&I. Palmer, a former collegiate player himself, has been called America's greatest Ambassador for the game of golf.
With his blessing and the support of the Arnold Palmer Golf Company, the inaugural event was played at his own Bay Hill Club in Florida in June 1997.

Arnold Palmer Cup Format
- July 5 - "Four Ball" - A match in which each member of the two-person teams plays their own ball. Four balls are in play per hole with each of the four players recording a score on the hole. The team whose player posts the best score on that hole wins the hole. Should players from each team tie for the best score, that hole is halved.
- July 6 - "Foursome" - A match in which the golfers compete on a team against two other golfers and each side plays one ball. The golfers play alternate shots (player A hits tee shot, player B hits second shot, etc.) until the hole is played out. Team members alternate on the playing of tee shots, with one golfer hitting the tee shot on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting tee shots from the even-numbered holes. The team with the better score wins the hole. Should the two teams tie for best score, the hole is halved.
- July 7 - "Singles" - A match in which one player plays against another player. A player wins the match when the player is up by more holes than there are holes remaining to play.
