Rachel Kuehn’s victory at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge came with a bonus for the Wake Forest junior: a sponsor exemption into the LPGA’s JTBC Championship at Palos Verdes.
The Northrop Grumman celebrated its 26th anniversary at Palos Verdes Golf Club in California with Oregon winning the team title by seven shots over Wake Forest. Kuehn’s 10-under 203 total broke the tournament record of 7 under set by Lorena Ochoa in 2002. This victory marks Kuehn’s second of the season and fourth of her career.
“This week has been incredible,” said Kuehn in a release, “and I feel fortunate to have won on such an amazing course. To receive a sponsor’s exemption into the LPGA tournament here in a couple weeks is a dream come true.”
