The Ontario Open was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour that was played in 1961 and 1962 at the Whispering Lakes Golf Course in Ontario, California, which opened in 1956.[1][2]

The 1961 tournament, played from October 1215, was won by 42-year-old Eric Monti of Los Angeles, when he sank an 8-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole of a three-way sudden death playoff with George Bayer and Bobby Nichols.[3] The winners share was $2,800 out of a total purse of $20,000.[1]
