Skip Mike McEwen improves to 4-0 this season against 2-time Olympic medallist Gushue
Mike McEwen scored a single in the eighth end for a 4-3 victory over Brad Gushue at the Kioti National on Thursday night in St. John’s.
McEwen, from Winnipeg, made a takeout with his final throw to give Gushue, from St. John’s, his first loss in round-robin play.
McEwen raised his record to 3-0 at the tournament, and he’s won each of four meetings this season against Gushue, a six-time Brier champion who also sports Olympic gold and bronze medals.
Winnipeg’s Reid Carruthers dropped an 8-3 decision to Switzerland’s Marco Hoesli and Scotland’s Ross Whyte scored four in the seventh end for a 9-5 win over Germany’s Marc Muskatewitz.
