VIRGINIA – Canada’s Brad Jacobs is through to the men’s gold-medal game at the Pan Continental Curling Championships after posting a narrow 5-4 semifinal win over China on Saturday.
Vice-skip Marc Kennedy, who curled a perfect game, hit a triple-takeout to blank the ninth end with the score tied 4-4.
Then, with the hammer in the final end, the Calgary-based rink was able to control the four-foot ring and score the winning point.
Sunday’s final will be a rematch of Canada and the United States, who advanced with a 9-3 win over Japan.
Canada beat the U.S. 6-5 in Friday’s final draw to post a perfect record in the round robin.
Defending champion Rachel Homan of Canada and her Ottawa-based rink beat the United States 8-3 in a women’s semifinal Saturday night. She’ll face China’s Team Rui Wang in Sunday’s final.
It’ll be a second straight Sunday final for Team Homan, which won its record 19th Grand Slam championship last weekend in Nisku, Alta.
China, 7-0 in the round robin, defeated South Korea’s Team Eunji Gim 6-5 in an extra end in the other semifinal.
