One of the major tournaments on the Champions golf tour began this morning in Stevens Point.
Wisconsin native Steve Stricker is considered the favorite in the US Senior Open at Sentry World golf course, which began at 7:00 this morning.
The field includes 156 golfers at the course, which is recognized as one of the most beautiful in the Midwest.
Stricker won the WIAA high School State Golf tournament nearly 40 years ago, and has won eight tournaments in the last two years.
Also in the field of players is Madison native Jerry Kelly.
For those who wish to attend the tournament, tickets are available at the gate or at either USSeniorOpen.com, or SentryWorld.com.
If you would rather watch at home, the first two days will be aired on the Golf Channel, and the Saturday and Sunday rounds will be aired on NBC and Peacock.
