Koe stays perfect to win Players’ Championship, Jones falls in women’s final
TORONTO — Calgary’s Kevin Koe maintained his perfect record en route to capturing the Players’ Championship on Sunday while Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg failed to defend her title on the women’s side.
Koe beat Sweden’s Niklas Edin 6-2 for the men’s title in the afternoon before Jones fell 7-2 to American Jamie Sinclair in the evening.
It is the fifth curling Grand Slam title of Koe’s career. Edin won the world championship in Las Vegas one week ago.
The Koe rink finished the tournament with an untarnished 8-0 record.
