Players Championship 29 winner Cameron Menzies has revealed he feared he was suffering a heart attack on a flight to Switzerland, prompting him to take a serious look at his lifestyle.

Menzies saw off Gian van Veen 8-4 in the final to claim his second Pro Tour title of 2026 on Tuesday. The Scot reflected on his medical episode in Blackpool when he was forced to withdraw from the tournament after being taken ill during his second-round match against Ross Smith.

"Last year I was heading to Switzerland and I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack on the plane," said Menzies. "I went for scans because heart problems is something that runs in my family. They told me I needed to lose weight, but the thing with the Ross Smith match is that I went for tests after and they believe it was dehydration but it caused my blood pressure to go high because I was panicking."

The 37-year-old World Cup semi-finalist added: "I went to Glasgow Jubilee Hospital and spent 10 hours there, but everything came back fine apart from my blood pressure being a little high... I hope it was, because it means I just need to look after myself a bit more."
