Homan, though, was not down just yet. Homan’s side scored three in the seventh, forcing a deciding eighth end.
Tirinzoni’s rink scored the winning point in the final end to emerge victorious.
In the men’s final, Scotland’s Bruce Mouat defeated Switzerland’s Yannick Schwaller 6-5 in an extra end.
Mouat scored two in the sixth end and stole one in the seventh to take a 5-3 lead, but Schwaller scored two with the hammer in the eighth to force the extra end.
The Scottish skip was coming off a victory last week at the world men’s curling championship in Moose Jaw, Sask.
