OTTAWA – Canada’s Brad Gushue needed only seven ends to complete an 8-2 rout of New Zealand’s Anton Hood on Sunday at the world men’s curling championship.
Gushue opened with a deuce and made a hit for three to end it as New Zealand conceded early.
Canada will play Norway’s Magnus Ramsfjell in the evening draw.
Gushue split his first two games of the competition on Saturday.
Round robin play continues through Friday night at TD Place. Medal games are scheduled for April 9.
