STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – A few golfers such as Steve Stricker and Bradley Lanning are returning home for the U.S. Senior Open, along with Wisconsin hockey legend Joe Pavelski.

Making a trip at home, according to the 17-year NHL veteran, is always wonderful, but for an occasion this significant where he grew up, he thinks it’s something unique.
“I got to play growing up a little bit and see the remodel, and how it’s evolved over the last handful of years,” said Pavelski. “Just really excited to see these great golfers, and how they’re going to attack it.”
As he prepares for his 18th NHL season, the Wisconsin legend stated that he is taking some time off to check out the course and the competition.
