The Senior division (age 55-64) title of season-long champions was secured by Dean Kirchoff (CDGA Member’s Club) and Mark Muench (CDGA Member’s Club). Paced by a Net Better-Ball score of 7-under 65, Kirchoff and Muench’s first place finish at Itasca vaulted them atop the standings, resulting in the overall title. Along with Kirchoff and Muench’s low net honors, Dave Blomquist (MAGCS) and David Kohley (MAGCS) claimed low gross honors for the day with an even-par 72.

Among the Super Seniors (65 and up), the pairing of David Parro (Stonehenge Golf Club) and Brian Wood (Deerfield Golf Club) were tabbed as the 2026 victors. A first-place finish in the low net category with a score of 4-under 68 culminated in their top finish amongst the 2026 standings. Bill Christenson (Cog Hill Golf & Country Club) and Dean Bass (Cog Hill Golf & Country Club) achieved low gross honors in the Super Senior division.

In the women’s division, Kelsey Brown (CDGA Member’s Club) and Sylver Calfo (Olympia Fields Country Club) earned the distinction of champions by finishing on top of the season-long standings across four total events. The duos T1 in the low net division earned them 36.50 points towards their 2026 total, vaulting them to a first-place finish for the year. Mary Ellen Martin (Village Links of Glen Ellyn) and Sonia Burgess (Royal Fox Country Club) acquired low gross honors on the day.

The field for the Championship was determined through qualifiers earlier this season at Old Oak Country Club in Homer Glen, Glenview Park Golf Club in Glenview and Village Links of Glen Ellyn in Glen Ellyn. At the finale, the season-long points champion as well as the top gross and net duos from the finale earned rounds of golf and Stay & Play packages to Tullymore Golf Resort in Mecosta County, Michigan. Additional prizes from the CDGA and corporate sponsors were awarded to top finishers.

With both the women’s and senior finals complete, the 2026 CDGA Tullymore Trifecta Series has concluded. In total, over 600 golfers competed across the qualifiers and the championships. Thank you to all who played in 2026.
