| 1902 U.S. Open | |
An important golf equipment evolution helped make Laurie Auchterlonie the first golfer in tournament history to record four sub-80 rounds. So, not surprisingly, Auchterlonie was the 1902 U.S. Open champion.
Haskell balls had a solid core with rubber strips or threads wound around the core. They flew farther than the gutta-percha balls they replaced.
Stewart Gardner was second, six strokes behind Auchterlonie. In third was amateur Travis, who was the designer of the host golf course, Garden City Golf Club.
