Trip Kuehne was known for his first 11 years in money management as the best golfer on Wall Street. While proud of the moniker, he also wants to move past it.

Kuehne, 42, stopped playing elite-level amateur golf after he won the 2007 U.S. Mid-AmateurBloomberg Terminal, a United States Golf Association event targeted at post-college players. The Oklahoma State University psychology major gave up all competitive golf after playing in his second Masters Tournament the next year.
