Saskatoon skip Steve Laycock will live to fight another day after his 9-1 win over Heath McCormick of Blaine, U.S.A., on Thursday evening, to highlight the ninth draw of the Meridian Canadian Open.
“Just got off to a good start,” Laycock said. “[We] made a big hit and roll in the first, set up a deuce, and we avoided a few things. They had a few unlucky breaks just with the way the angles shook out in a couple of ends and we capitalized. So it was a game we controlled pretty well.”
Laycock said in his previous game against Reid Carruthers, that he lost 8-3 on Wednesday, the biggest issue was some of their shots were flat out misses, as opposed to partial ones.
“We were making as many full shots as we normally do, but our misses were all of the zero-to-five, not the partial shot variety and that’s where you get in trouble,” Laycock said. “[Today] we did a better job of that, finishing off shots on the stuff that we didn’t make. At least we were getting some positive outcome out of it.”
