Gandas, who earned a passage into the DP World Tour after topping the PGTI Order of Merit with six wins in 2022, has been slowly finding his feet on the Tour, where he is playing for the first full season. He had creditable finishes at the Thailand Classic (T-28) and the Hero Indian Open (T-32).
Sharma, who opened the season with a tied seventh finish at Abu Dhabi, has since then also finished in Top-15 at the Indian Open.
In the first round of the Kenya Open, Sharma had an eagle, one birdie and five bogeys as he struggled with various parts of his game.
Three-time DP World Tour winner Catlin raced out of the blocks, making the turn at six-under par, needing just 29 shots, with four birdies and an eagle at the par five 18th, his ninth hole.
The American finished his round with eight pars and a fifth birdie of the day at the par four sixth to join Mostert at the top of the leaderboard.
Placed at six-under par are Wil Besseling of the Netherlands, and Frenchman Pierre Pineau on six under par.
Sharing fifth place on five-under are Germanys Nick Bachem, Gavin Green of Malaysia, South African Casey Jarvis, Englishman Tom Murray and Spaniard Borja Virto.
