MADISON, Wis. — Over the course of two days in mid-October, Hancock native Anthony Bilich did something he knows how to do very well, golf. He took part in the 10th annual Veterans Golf Association Championship at Olympia Fields in Chicago. With a 72 the first day and a 73 the second, Bilich stood tall at the end, hoisting his third championship.

Bilich’s last victory came in 2022 when he won at Doral in Miami, Florida. He took two years away from the VGA circuit to focus on family.

“I ended up taking the last two years off of the whole circuit,” he said. “Work’s been really busy, and just some other things we’ve been focusing on. I’ve actually been coming back home quite a bit the last couple years, just spending time with my mom. She’s getting older, and (his wife) Katie’s family, too.
