Also seeing action will be Laetitia Beck, Jaravee Boonchant, Lindy Duncan and Miranda Wang.
A field of 144 golfers will play 72 holes of stroke play for $200,000 and a winner's share of $30,000. A cut will be made to the top-60 competitors plus ties after 36 holes.
In the third year of the Carolina Golf Classic, former Duke All-American Ana Belac won the inaugural event in 2020 for her first professional victory en route to earning her LPGA Tour card.
Shepherd, who hails from Greenwood, Ind., will see action in her eighth professional event over her amateur career and the second Epson Tour Tournament. She turned in rounds of 74, 70 and 75 for a 6-over-par, 219, at the 2021 Donald Ross Classic on her way to placing tied for 61st on the Epson Tour. Shepherd is a two-time Women's Golf Coaches Association All-America selection for the Blue Devils.
On the 2022 Epson Tour money list, Duke features Gina Kim ($38,526) in sixth, Beck ($25,596) in 14th, Boonchant ($16,301) in 32nd and Duncan ($10,699) in 49th. In the most recent Epson Tour event, Kim won her first professional tournament with an 11-under-par ledger at the Inova Mission Inn Resort and Club Championship in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.
Duke is the only women's golf program to feature a winner on both the LPGA and Epson Tour in 2022. Leona Maguire won the LPGA Drive on Championship in February and Kim won the Inova Mission Inn Resort and Club Championship.
On Thursday, Shepherd will get things going at 7:30 a.m., off hole No. 10, while Wang will tee off on No. 10 at 8:03 a.m. Boonchant will tee off No. 1 at 8:14 a.m., Beck at 8:25 a.m., off No. 1 and Duncan at 8:36 a.m., on No. 1.
