The 34th Illinois Senior Amateur Championship was not an easy finish for champion Tim Sheppard (East Peoria-Pekin Country Club).

Sheppard held a three shot lead heading into the final day at Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria.

Sheppard a two-time CDGA Senior Player of the Year, and past champion in the senior amateur, didn’t get out to a great start in the last round.

Emotions caught up with him after his dog passed away unexpectedly early that morning. Sheppard admitted he was having a hard time focusing, and after he started +2 over the first seven holes. At the turn he told himself he needed to make some birdies. On the back nine Sheppard carded 4 birdies to hold off David Feder of Lincolnshire (Conway Farms), and four-time past champion Dave Ryan of Taylorville/Illini CC. Winning the championship in his backyard of Peoria has special meaning for Tim Sheppard.
