Two first-time champions added their names to Spring Brook championship history, as Arjun Caprihan captured the men’s title and Bonnie Van Slyke won the women’s.
Caprihan, the 2022 MGA/MetLife Boys’ champion, defeated two-time defending champion William Callahan in a highly competitive final match. The freshman on the University of Pennsylvania golf team previously captured two junior club championship titles at the club and becomes one of the younger champions in club history.
While youth prevailed on the men’s side, longtime member Bonnie Van Slyke used her veteran experience to capture her first title in the women’s championship. She played her way to the finals in 2024 and came up just short, but this year sealed the deal and earned her win after defeating Emma Peifly in the final match. Slyke and her family have been members at the club for nearly 35 years, and her course knowledge and competitive experience helped put her name on the board this year.
