More than 150-golfers are taking aim at the 2008 Wisconsin State Open Championship starting Monday.

The tournament tees off at 7 in the morning at the Eau Claire Country Club.

Seventeen local golfers will be in the mix, along with eleven returning champs.

Eau Claire hasn't hosted the tournament since 1994. Back then, Ben Walter captured the title.

Wisconsin PGA Director Joe Stadler has been setting up the course for the last few weeks; on Sunday, he was out putting the final touches on the course.

Don't forget that we have exclusive live coverage of the final round on Wednesday from 3:30 in the afternoon until 6-pm.

After WEAU-13 News at 6, we'll have a half hour championship recap.
