Dizzy spells for Kuchar in Canada
Matt Kuchar fought dizzy spells in the first round of the Canadian Open on Thursday, four days after finishing second behind Jordan Spieth in the British Open.
“I don’t know where it came from,” Kuchar said. “I’ve had plenty of time to get over the travel. Hopefully, it’s just something that passes real quick.”
The 39-year-old became dizzy marking a ball and sought medical attention during the morning round at Glen Abbey. He was six strokes behind leaders Kevin Chappell, Matt Every, Hudson Swafford, Brandon Hagy and Ollie Schniederjans in the round that was suspended because of darkness after afternoon play was interrupted for nearly two hours by lightning and rain.
LPGA: Hall of Famer Karrie Webb shot a 7under-par 65 in cold and windy conditions to take a one-stroke lead over Cristie Kerr in the Ladies Scottish Open in Irvine.
Webb played the final 10 holes in 7-under at Dundonald Links. The 42-year-old Australian birdied the par-4 ninth, made five straight birdies on Nos. 11-15 and added another birdie on the par-5 18th.
She won the last of her 41 tour titles in 2014.
Michelle Wie shot 72. Former No. 1 Lydia Ko opened with a 74. Senior British Open: Bernhard Langer shot a 2-under 69 in wind and rain at Royal Porthcawl to take the first-round lead at Bridgend, Wales.
The 59-year-old German had five birdies and three bogeys for a onestroke lead over 64-yearold Carl Mason of England and Mauricio Molina of Argentina. European Tour: American Julian Suri birdied five of the last eight holes to join Richard McEvoy of England for a share of the lead at 6-under 66 in the opening round at Hamburg, Germany.
Suri, 26, started with a birdie but dropped a shot at the second. There were no more bogeys as Suri racked up another six birdies. McEvoy also shot six birdies. U.S. Girls’ Junior: Lucy Li of Redwood City lost her second-round match in Augusta, Mo., falling 2 and 1 to Taiwan’s YuSang Hou. Li, 14, was the No. 1 seed after earning stroke-play medalist honors.
Incoming Stanford freshman Mika Liu also lost in the second round, 1-up to Haylin Harris. San Francisco Junior: Riordan’s Joshua Lim completed a perfect week, beating Jaimin Bhagat of Los Altos 6-5 in the championship match at Lincoln Park. Lim was the low medalist in Tuesday’s stroke play (a 1under 67), then went 4-0 in match play to win the title.
