| 1960 PGA Championship | |
There were two PGA champions in the Hebert family after the 1961 PGA Championship. Lionel Hebert won the 1957 PGA, and big brother Jay Hebert won this one.
After three rounds, Doug Sanders was the leader, with Jay Hebert and 1947 PGA Championship winner Jim Ferrier one stroke behind. On the challenging Firestone Country Club course, no member of that trio surged in the final round. But Hebert came out on top with an even-par 70 to Ferrier's 71 and Sanders' 73.
Jay Hebert won seven times during his PGA Tour career, and this was the fifth of those seven victories. It was his only major; in fact, Hebert had only one other Top 5 finish in a major.
