TORONTO — All Brendan Bottcher has done in the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling this season is reach the final and for the second consecutive event he’s landed in the winner’s circle.
It was only the third Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling event this season for the team of Bottcher, third Darren Moulding, second Bradley Thiessen and lead Karrick Martin. They finished runner-up at the Tour Challenge Tier 1 in November and earned their first GSOC title at the Meridian Canadian Open in January.
Bottcher himself saved his best for the championship game shooting 100 percent and needed to be perfect to edge out the Brier champions and world silver medallists. The tight, low-scoring affair only saw the teams trade singles in three and five with four blanked ends and Bottcher holding a slim 2-1 lead entering the final stanza.
