ARDMORE, Pennsylvania – Brenda Corrie Kuehn wears a gold scapular medal around her neck, and for years has told daughter Rachel about the time her heart was pounding so hard she could feel that necklace moving up and down as she faced a 4-foot downhill slider to clinch the 1998 Curtis Cup.
“I can’t even tell you the amount of times she’s told us about the 4-footer,” said Rachel, “downhill, left-to-right.”
There are pictures scattered around the family’s North Carolina home of Kuehn walking the fairways at the Curtis Cup with her oldest son, Corrie, who was a baby at the time. Rachel grew up familiar with her mother’s Curtis Cup pins, red blazer, and vintage footage of that putt, which gave Team USA its first victory over Great Britain and Ireland in eight years.
