Aussie Dodt early leader In Mauritius golf

Australian golfer Andrew Dodt is the clubhouse leader by two shots during the first round of the Mauritius Open.

Australian golfer Andrew Dodt tops the leaderboard during the first round of the Mauritius Open after opening with a six-under-par 66.

The two-time European Tour winner on Thursday was two shots clear of India's Rashid Khan, who had also completed his round.

Dodt made a birdie-birdie start from the 10th - as did Khan - and, after a bogey on the 14th and birdie on the 15th, he eagled the par-5 last to turn in 32.

The 30-year-old ended his round having posted six birdies and two bogeys.

South Africa's Jbe Kruger fired a two-under first round of 70, while defending champion George Coetzee was a further shot back after shooting a 71.
