Partner Best Ball Challenge at Naperbrook Tees Off 2026 Brooks Tournament Series

Thursday, April 23, 2026

Naperbrook Golf Course hosted 72 golfing pairs on Saturday, April 18 for the Partner Best Ball Challenge – the first event of the 2026 Brooks Tournament Series – presented by Woody Buick GMC. The top teams finished as follows:

Position Name Name Score
1 Raghu Ramanathan Vijay Sundararajan 63
2 Brien Gerber Greg Cornwell 65
T3 Brandon Kowalczyk James Gedvilas 66
T3 Phillip Morton Brayden Morton 66
5 Rick Ose Brett Nelson 67

Raghu Ramanathan and Vijay Sundarararjan, two Naperville natives, won the tournament with a score of 63, followed by Brien Gerber and Greg Cornwell for second place. The tournament was scored in a Best Ball Twosome format, meaning the lowest score of either golfer was the recorded score for each hole.

“The overnight storms, cool temperatures and gusty winds couldn’t put a damper on the season opener,” said Naperbrook Head Golf Professional Joel Wallin. “Despite the elements, the level of play was outstanding. Raghu Ramanathan and Vijay Sundarararjan captured the title with an impressive 9-under par 63 – a remarkable score given the weather conditions.”

The next event of the Brooks Tournament Series is the Brooks Team Championship at Naperbrook and Springbrook Golf Courses on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17. Registration for the event is in progress.
