Galloway, New Jersey (April 20, 2026) — PGA of America Golf Professional Braden Shattuck of Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pennsylvania, finished with a round of 69 and 29 Stableford points to win the 2026 Radnor Golf Foundation Tournament Players Division Championship at Galloway National Golf Club by two points over Andrew Cornish of Llanerch Country Club and Riley Wheeldon of Aronimink Golf Club. The tournament is the Section’s first Rolex / Haverford Trust Company Philadelphia PGA Player of the Year event of the year.

The event featured a Modified Stableford format, in which players received nine points for an albatross / double eagle, six points for an eagle, three points for a birdie, one point for a par, zero points for a bogey, and negative one point for a double bogey or worse.

“I have been making a lot of swing changes,” Shattuck said following his round. “I changed my equipment too, so I find myself in an ‘experimental phase’ once again. I played well in the Section’s Spring Meeting event, and played well again today, so the experiment is working so far.”

Shattuck (and 13 fellow Philadelphia PGA Professionals) will travel to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort next week to compete in the 2026 PGA Professional Championship, April 26-29, with the hopes of finishing in the top 20 to qualify for the Corebridge Financial Team and the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, May 11-17.

Shattuck went on to thank his wife Veoletta for helping him with his swing changes, Rolling Green Golf Club, Titleist, the TPD Championship partners, and host facility.

Whitford Country Club’s Anthony Sebastianelli finished in fourth place with 26 points, while Ryan Rucinski, Applebrook Golf Club, and Zac Oakley, Bidermann Golf Club, tied for fifth place with 24 points each.

In the Senior Division, PGA Associate Greg Wolfe, GOLFTEC – Malvern, took home the top prize with 17 Modified Stableford points. Wolfe topped Gulph Mills Golf Club’s Tom Gilbert, PGA, and Kings Creek Country Club’s Chris Krueger by one point, and Applebrook Golf Club’s Dave McNabb, PGA, and Laurel Creek Country Club’s Dave Quinn, PGA, by two points.
