Jerry Barber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Jerome "Jerry" Barber, (April 25, 1916 – September 23, 1994) was a professional golfer on the PGA Tour.

He was born in Jacksonville, Illinois. Among his seven tour victories, Barber won the 1961 PGA Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club (a location not far from where Barber grew up) on the strength of one of the most astonishing displays of clutch putting in major championship history. Trailing Don January by four shots with three holes to play in the final round, Barber made a 20-foot birdie putt at the 16th hole, a 40-foot par-saving putt at 17, and a 60-foot birdie putt at 18 to tie January and force a playoff, which Barber won the next day by one stroke. Barber played on two Ryder Cup teams, 1955 and 1961, and also was team captain in 1961.

Barber was often referred to in the media as "little Jerry Barber," because he stood five feet, five inches. In 1966, Barber portrayed himself in a guest appearance on episode #23 of I Dream of Jeannie. Barber and his wife Lucile, who died of cancer in 1968, had five children: Tom, Nancy, twins Sandra and Sally, and Roger. Barber died in Glendale, California at the age of 78, after suffering a mitral valve prolapse and a stroke.
