Geoff Nicholas and Shane Luke

World No.5 Geoff Nicholas leads after the first round of the Ottobock Australian Amputee Open in Queensland.

The New South Welshman opened an opening 76 to lead retired American army veteran Chad Pfeifer through a shot at the Greg Norman designed Pelican Waters Golf Club.

The 54-hole event has attracted 37 players – double the 2017 participants – with representatives from as far away as New Zealand and the United States.

The European Disabled Golf Association and the Golf Australia ranking event will feature winners in multiple categories on the last day of Friday.
