Glenn Howard has still got it, skipping his Penetanguishene, Ont., squad to its third consecutive victory at the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling major tournament and into the playoffs at the Meridian Canadian Open. JonathanBrazeau has the details ⤵️
YORKTON, Sask. — It might be -20 C outside but Glenn Howard is playing like he’s on fire in the Meridian Canadian Open at the Gallagher Centre.
Howard, who has won 14 Grand Slams as a skip, qualified Friday night shooting a game-high 94 per cent during an 8-6 win over Team Peter de Cruz from Switzerland. “I love it, that was a wild game and it’s so much fun to be out there. A couple of goofy shots here and a couple of unbelievable shots but fun to play and obviously when you win, it makes it that much better.”
Team Howard got off to a slow start at 0-2 to drop into the C Event early and took the long road to turn the corner completely.
