This Day in Golf--Oct. 11

The U.S. Open of 1902 ended on this date at Garden City Golf Club on Long Island. The eighth playing was won by Laurie Auchterlonie of the Chicago Golf Club. The unveiling of the new rubber-core Haskell ball was credited with Auchterlonie becoming the first U.S. Open champion to shoot in the 70s all four rounds with 78-78-74-77--307. He won by six shots over Stewart Gardner and Walter Travis, two Garden City regulars.
