	2002 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship
		The championship’s prime mover was James D. Standish Jr., of Detroit, who convinced his colleagues on the 1922 USGA Executive Committee that the time was right for such a grass-roots competition.
		Harding wanted to enter the championship himself, but time didn’t permit, and besides, he was a member of at least one private club, which would preclude his entry.
		That those earliest championships drew upward of 18 teams representing cities from coast to coast, was a tribute to the spread of public-course golf in America.

		The South African Championship was the first to be decided and it came as something of a surprise to observers in England when the news came through that Percy Rutledge, who had represented South Africa in the previous Empire Championship, had lost his title to former South African champion, Allen Prior.
		Steeples match, the new Amateur Championship trophy was exhibited for the first time at a luncheon given in honour of the four contestants at Frascati's Restaurant, Oxford Street, and it brought forth unqualified admiration.
