Ranking Wisconsin’s biggest sporting events (from the 2017 U.S. Open to the Ice Bowl)

The state of Wisconsin takes center stage in the golf world this week when the U.S. Open descends upon the state for the first time, teeing up at Erin Hills, a rolling heartland course with 138 bunkers, snarling rough, wide fairways and a rare par of 72 (only the ninth time the U.S. Open has carried such a number since World War II). Is the 2017 Open the greatest sporting event held in the Badger State? It's certainly the most anticipated event but let's wait until Sunday night to call it the greatest. Despite not having the richest sports history, the state of Wisconsin has a few classics to its name.
