A star-studded field has descended on Stevens Point, Wisconsin, for the 2023 U.S. Senior Open.
Stevens Point learned two years ago it would host the event. The USGA announced the news in February 2021, marking the third USGA Championship at the site. The other two were the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links in 1986 and the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship in 2019.
Sentry Insurance developed the public facility in 1982 as part of a sports complex that includes indoor tennis courts, banquet space and restaurants. At the heart of the 200-acre property lies the championship layout.
In 2013, Robert Trent Jones Jr. oversaw a major renovation that was led by architects Bruce Charlton and Jay Blasi, a Golfweek rater panelist and contributing writer.
Here’s a look at some of the best shots of the week.
