(Reuters) - Matt Kuchar battled dizziness and sought medical attention in the first round of the Canadian Open on Thursday, four days after his crushing runner-up finish at the British Open.

The seven-times PGA Tour winner shook off the dizzy spells, including one which came while he was marking a ball, to card a one-under-par 71 that left him six shots back of the clubhouse leaders.
