Cameron Menzies beat world number two Luke Humphries in the first round of the World Matchplay [Getty Images]
Cameron Menzies needed medical attention after being taken ill during his World Matchplay second-round match against Ross Smith in Blackpool on Wednesday.
While leading the game 2-1, Scotland's Menzies stepped away from the oche and appeared unsteady on his feet as England's Smith and the referee guided him safely off stage.
It was later confirmed that Menzies was cleared by medics backstage but was unable to return to the stage to continue, and so forfeited the match.
The PDC said: "Cameron experienced high blood pressure, which caused him to feel dizzy and subsequently faint.
"Following an assessment by the on-site medical team, Cameron was deemed well enough to return to his accommodation.
"We wish Cameron all the best and look forward to seeing him back in action soon."
