| Samborsky Named |
A longtime standout in the Miami Valley golf community and one of the area’s most accomplished amateur players, Samborsky adds this Senior title to his three previous Player of the Year awards — earned in 2006, 2007, and 2019. Notably, his first two titles came when Miami Valley Golf began recognizing Players of the Year nearly two decades ago. In his first full year of senior eligibility, Samborsky delivered an outstanding season highlighted by several notable accomplishments. He qualified for the U.S. Senior Open, finished inside the Top 10 at the Ohio Mid-Amateur, and placed second in the Senior Metropolitan Championship, finishing just one stroke behind champion John Fryman. Despite a slow start in that 36-hole event, Samborsky rebounded impressively, playing his final 27 holes at five under par, a performance that reflected the steady, high-level play that defined his season. Samborsky’s total of 375 points secured a 50-point margin over three-time and defending Senior Player of the Year, Pete Betzold, who finished second. David Clancy placed third, followed by John Fryman, the 2025 Senior Metropolitan Champion, in fourth. Peter Samborsky II will be formally recognized for his achievement at the 2026 Spring Better Ball, scheduled for Monday, April 27th at NCR Country Club. |
