UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. -- ACU golfer Tyler Sheppard dominated Scott Harvey on Wednesday, knocking off the No. 26 seed in the U.S. Amateur, 4 and 2, in a Round of 64 match.
Sheppard will be back on the course Thursday morning and with a win there will play Thursday afternoon as the tournament will be down to eight remaining players going into Friday.
The quarterfinals are set for Friday with the semifinals set for Saturday. The 36-hole final will be played Sunday.
Sheppard will play former Stanford standout Joseph Bramlett at 11:10 a.m. (Abilene time). A win there will put him into the Round of 16 later Thursday afternoon.

After Harvey was able to cut Sheppard's lead to 1-up after eight holes, Sheppard birdied the par-3 ninth while Harvey bogeyed the hole, putting the Wildcat back ahead 2-up. The lead went to 3-up on the 10th hole when Sheppard parred the opening hole on the back nine while Harvey bogeyed the hole.
Sheppard was ahead 2-up going to 14 and he parred the hole while Harvey bogeyed the par-4 521-yard hole. Armed with a 3-up lead through 15, Sheppard closed out the match on 16 when he birdied the par-4 425-yard 16th hole, capping his 4 and 2 win.
