Alex Kline takes one-shot clubhouse lead in State Open

Alex Kline of Troy Burne Golf Course was the clubhouse leader of the MGA State Open Championship on Saturday after shooting his second consecutive 3-under 69.

Brady Madsen, who shot a 65 for the first-round lead, didn't start his second round at Rush Creek Golf Club in Maple Grove until 6:50 p.m. because of weather and didn't finish.

Second among golfers who completed 36 holes was Brian Hills at 139, followed by Sammy Schultz at 140.

Grace McCallum of Isanti, Minn., finished third in the all-around competition at the GK U.S. Classic in Louisville, a meet that featured many of the nation's top women gymnasts.

McCallum scored 57.700 points to finish behind Simone Biles (60.000) and Riley McCusker (57.900). McCallum tied for second in floor exercise and for third on bars and was fifth on beam.

Sunisa Lee of St. Paul placed second on uneven bars and tied for eighth on balance beam.
