‘Kicking His A**’: Golf Veteran Revisits Near-Defeat of Tiger Woods as He Reveals Three Costly Mistakes

Trip Kuehne is perhaps best remembered for his defeat to Tiger Woods in the 1994 U.S. Amateur final.

Kuehne, who never turned professional despite a successful amateur career, was also the only player Woods ever caddied for. In fact, Kuehne’s siblings were among Woods’ closest friends growing up.
