Shepherd Set for Arnold Palmer Cup in Switzerland

VANDOEUVRES, Switzerland – Duke women's golf senior Erica Shepherd is set to open action in the Arnold Palmer Cup on Friday at the Golf Club de Geneve in Vandoeuvres, Switzerland. The competition will take place July 1-3.

Shepherd will be representing the United States for the second straight summer, after notching a 3-1 ledger a year ago at Rich Harvest Farms, while helping the U.S. take a 33-27 victory.

The Arnold Palmer Cup will open Friday, July 1 with mixed four-ball pairings, with Shepherd teaming with Sam Bennett. The duo will face Ludvig Aberg and Alexandra Forsterling. On Saturday, July 2 the golfers will play mixed foursomes and foursomes, while closing the competition on Sunday with singles.

Named after the late Arnold Palmer, the Ryder Cup-style tournament features the top male and female collegiate golfers, with the United States facing off against an International team.

It marks the fifth straight year Duke has featured a golfer in the annual event as Jaravee Boonchant (2018), Ana Belac (2019), Gina Kim (2021, 2020) and Shepherd (2021) have all participated. Blue Devil head coach Dan Brooks was the United States coach in 2020, while Duke associate head coach Jon Whithaus was an assistant coach in 2021 as well.
