Henry August "Hank" Kuehne II (born September 11, 1975) is an American former U.S. Amateur champion and professional golfer who enjoyed some success on the PGA Tour.

Kuehne was born in Dallas, Texas.[1] His father started him playing golf at a young age. He has a sister (Kelli) who plays on the LPGA Tour, and a brother (Trip) who finished second to Tiger Woods in the 1994 U.S. Amateur[2] and remains an amateur.[3] Kuehne began his college career at Oklahoma State University, but later transferred to Southern Methodist University,[3] where he earned All-American honors three times as a member of the golf team (third team in 1996, second team in 1998, and honorable mention in 1999).[4] He won the 1998 U.S. Amateur[2] and played on the 1998 U.S. Eisenhower Trophy team.[3] He graduated from SMU in 1999 with a degree in communications and turned professional.[1]

Although he has several professional wins in non-Tour events, Kuehne's best finish on the PGA Tour has been a T-2 at both the 2003 Shell Houston Open and the 2005 John Deere Classic. His best result in a major is a 65th-place finish at the 1999 U.S. Open. In 2003, he won the Tour's Driving Distance title, unseating John Daly who had won eight consecutive titles and 11 in total.[3][5]

Kuehne missed the cut at the 2012 Honda Classic, his first PGA Tour event since 2007. Lingering back problems prevented Kuehne from playing for five years.
