Following a thrilling start to the 2019 Meridian Canadian Open at the Civic Centre, five games highlighted the 3 p.m. draw at the tournament on day two.
Unfortunately for Saskatoon’s Kirk Muyres, the second day yielded all-too-familiar results, as his rink fell 8-3 to Kingston’s Scott McDonald in six ends.
Despite the loss, Muyres said he did notice an improvement in the second of the team’s two games, a contest that remained close, with Muyres actually leading 2-0 after through the first two ends, before falling behind by a combined 7-1 margin over ends three to five, a deficit that would prove too steep for Muyres and company to return from.
“I felt a little bit better than yesterday, and then we just got stung in the fifth end there,” he said. “I had one that just didn’t quite curl enough which cost us, gave them the big end, but if it wasn’t for that, the game would’ve been a different story, we probably have a good chance to win it. At the end of the day, I just have to play a little better, the guys are playing good.”
