Mouat tops Howard to secure bye to playoffs
Seven draws down, 12 to go.
We’ve passed the halfway point at the 2019 Meridian Canadian Open, and it’s been a solid first three days of the tournament.
In the 11:30 a.m. draw, it was a different feel in the Civic Centre with the TV cameras broadcasting live from the home of the North Stars. A loud, bright intro kicked off the draw, with four men’s and one women’s game taking the stage.
On sheet C, Canadian curling legend Glenn Howard took on Scotland’s Bruce Mouat in a game that determined a bye into the playoff round. It was a game that featured a few blank ends, but in the end, the young Mouat scored two in the eighth to secure the win, 4-3.
