ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont., won the first stop on the Grand Slam of Curling, completing his unbeaten run Sunday by defeating Edmontons Kevin Martin 7-4 at the Masters final. Its the sixth time Howard has won the event. Howard broke a 2-2 tie by scoring four points in the fifth end. Martin cut the margin to two in the sixth end, but Howard put up one more point in the seventh to seal the victory. The win leaves Howard and his teammates Wayne Middaugh, Brent Laing and Craig Savill as the only rink still in the running to capture the $1 million prize available for sweeping all four Grand Slam events. "Were off to a great start, and to win a Grand Slam is the pinnacle," said Howard. "You have the best of the best. All the best teams are here and to win that, you have to be doing something special." Meanwhile, Ottawas Rachel Homan beat Scotlands Eve Muirhead 7-5 in the womens final. Homan led 5-2 after four ends, but Muirhead made a late rally with two in the seventh end to cut the deficit to 6-5 before Homan held on with a point in the eighth. "We had a couple of losses early, but we were learning the ice and learning from our mistakes," said Homan. "We just kept building, got a couple of breaks and took it one game at a time." Just making it to the final was a feat for both rinks. Homan and Muirhead each finished the round robin 2-2 and needed to win tie-breaker matches before they could advance.

BEIJING -- Kevin Koes Calgary rink inched closer to a playoff spot at the mens world championship of curling, improving to 7-3 in the round-robin portion of the tournament with a 11-5 rout over Germany on Thursday. Koe took an early 9-1 lead through four ends and sailed home with the win over Germanys Johnny Jahr to assure at least a tiebreaker berth on the final day of round-robin play. The Canadians will complete the round robin with a game against Scotlands Ewan MacDonald (3-6) later Thursday. A win in that game would nail down, at worst, a berth in the Page 3-4 game. A victory, combined with a loss from Japans Yusuke Morozumi (7-3) would put Canada in the Page playoff 1-2 game against Norways Thomas Ulsrud. "Its good news," said Koe. "Weve come through the three-four game a few times with this team (including the 2010 Tim Hortons Brier and the 2014 Alberta mens championship). We just have to get in there. And once we get in there, thats usually when our best games show up. "Were pretty much down to our last life here, so we have to come out against a good Scotland team thats probably going to be playing pretty loose, and take care of business." Canada took control early on against Germany. Koe made a precision come-around tap to sit four and block off the path to the four-foot.dddddddddddd German last-rock thrower Felix Schulze needed to make a hit-and-roll for a single, but he wrecked on a guard to give Canada a stolen four-ender. "That nice little hack-weight shot Kevin made in the second, that was good for his confidence," noted lead Nolan Thiessen. "Weve wrecked a few times on those, so to make one and really put the pressure on him to make a really good shot against four early in the game is good. "Youll get mistakes when that happens, and it got us a little bit of mojo and hopefully we can carry it over this afternoon." After Germany was forced to a single in the third, Canada put the victory away with Koe drawing for four in the fourth end. The Germans would cut into the lead with three in the fifth and one more in the sixth, but Canada scored two in the seventh to prompt handshakes. The Germans (4-6) are out of playoff contention. Norway locked up first place Thursday morning with a 6-4 win over Pete Fenson of the United States (3-7), while Sweden (6-4) took an 11-4 win over Japan. A Japanese victory would have all but locked up a spot in the one-two game. In the other game, Russias Evgeny Arkhipov (2-8) took two in the 10th end for a 6-5 win over Denmarks Rasmus Stjerne (2-8).
