Canadian Rachel Homan ekes out big win at Grand Slam event

Apr 23, 2021 | 2:03 PM

CALGARY — Rachel Homan moved into a tie for second in Pool B of the Players’ Championship with a 5-4 win over Satsuki Fujisawa of Japan on Friday.

The Ottawa skip (3-2) has the same record as Fujisawa after completing the preliminary round at the Grand Slam of Curling event. They’ll wait for the final two draws on Friday to see where they finish out in the standings.

Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg leads Pool B at 3-1.

Homan is coming off a win in last week’s Humpty’s Champions Cup, the first of two Grand Slam events this year, at the same venue.
