Pete Weber was 10 years old the season Tommy Hudson became the Sporting News PBA Rookie of the Year. He wasn't even born the day Dave Soutar won his first tour title in the 1961 PBA National Championship. With consecutive victories over Soutar and Hudson, Weber became the youngest bowler in PBA history to win his second title after capturing the $95,000 City of Roses Open in Portland, Ore. On the Winter Tour, the 19-year-old Weber won the Greater Hartford Open.
