Forest Lake senior Bella Leonhart is looking to cap her career in grand fashion.
Leonhart shot a 1-under-par 71 Tuesday and leads a jammed leaderboard after the first round of the Class 3A girls golf state tournament at Bunker Hills Golf Club in Coon Rapids. Six golfers are within two shots of her heading into Wednesday’s final round starting at 7:30 a.m.
Three golfers are one stroke back of Leonhart, who is ranked ninth by the Minnesota Golf Association: top-ranked Orono senior Ava Hanneman, second-ranked Minnetonka junior Selena Wu and 10th-ranked Wayzata junior Lauren Chambs.
