Curler Brad Jacobs wins Canada Cup; Jennifer Jones takes women's final | Skip to Content Curling Skips Brad Jacobs (L) and Jennifer Jones are seen in file photos. (Michael Burns/THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO / Gavin Young/Postmedia) ESTEVAN, Sask. — Brad Jacobs has won the Canada Cup. The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., skip defeated 2015 champion Kevin Koe of Calgary 5-4 in the men's final Sunday. Jacobs was the runner-up at the 2014 Canada Cup in Camrose, Alta. "This is a great event, top Canadian teams — men and women — so anytime you can sneak out a win like this, it means a lot, " said Jacobs. "You only get so many opportunities to win events like this, to put this on our resume feels great. " The 2014 Olympic gold medallist kept the hammer in the final end and made a final rock hit to seal the victory. Koe was behind 4-2 after the seventh before scoring one in the eighth and stealing one in the ninth to tie the game at 4-4. Jacobs never trailed in the match. "Our hitting and drawing have been really good this week … with five-rock (rule) there are still ways you can keep it relatively open and I think we did a very good job of that, " said Jacobs.
ESTEVAN, Sask. – Brad Jacobs has an impressive resume – Olympic gold medal, Tim Hortons Brier gold medal, men's world championship silver medal – and now he can add the Home Hardware Canada Cup. The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., skip and his mate shepherded a deuce in the first end all the way through to the 10th end for a tightly contested 5-4 win over Kevin Koe of Calgary. "This is a great event, top Canadian teams – men and women – so anytime you can sneak out a win like this it means a lot, " Jacobs said. "You only get so many opportunities to win events like this, to put this on our resumé feels great. " Jacobs made his open draw for two in the first end, but with the five-rock rule it seemed unlikely that the early-end score would ultimately be the difference. But the two highly talented foursomes traded singles and blanks through eight ends, and Jacobs conceded a steal of one in the ninth, keeping hammer for the final end. He made a final rock hit for the winning point. Brad Jacobs poses with the Home Hardware Canada Cup following his team's 5-4 victory against Kevin Koe.
"Glenn played really well but we were just a bit better today. We took advantage of our opportunities. Felt really comfortable with the ice and the guys played well in front of me. It made my job pretty easy. "It's nice to get that first win under our belts and keep going on. " There's a bit more of a target on any defending champions' back and this event, with all that's at stake is no exception. Last year's win was Team Jacobs's first and the first Home Hardware Canada Cup with Marc Kennedy throwing third rocks. "We've had a really good start to our season so far and we're playing really well, " said Jacobs. "We're just trying to keep that going. Yeah, we're the defending champions in this event and that's pretty neat, but that was a year ago. "To be honest, that doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot to myself. We're just going to go out there, try to play hard and see what happens. " Team Carey discusses strategy during its win over Team Homan.

The win's a bonus. " The 2019 Home Hardware Canada Cup continues with a draw today at 7 p. m. (all times MST). TSN/TSN2 and RDS2 will provide complete coverage of the Hardware Canada Cup.
