US golf star
Paula Creamer battled through suspected food poisoning to end day one at the HSBC Champions at five-under par.
An opening round of 67 was enough for Creamer to finish tied for the lead in Singapore.
Fellow American Jane Park and Brazil's Angela Park were the other players on five-under with one day gone at the Tanah Merah Country Club.
Creamer said of her illness: "It must have been something I ate. I haven't been feeling very well for the last couple of days.
"When I woke up this morning I was thinking 'I hope I get to play', but you'll have to carry me out on a stretcher before I'll leave a tournament."
World number one
Lorena Ochoa was nicely poised on three-under after going round in 69, while the best of the Brits was Scotland's Catriona Matthew, who ended up on even-par.
