JONES CLAIMS FOURTH CANADA CUP

-

Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones beat Kerri Einarson’s rink from Gimli, Man., 8-5 Sunday to win her record fourth women’s title at the Canada Cup in Estevan, Sask. The 44-year-old skip calmly executed a long runback double takeout to score three in the ninth end. Jones said there was no question the risky shot was worth it. “It was just the way the score was,” she said. “Trying to hold them to not get two in the last end is challengin­g, so we thought it was worth the risk.” Jones and her team earned $14,000 for winning the final, plus $6,000 for their four round-robin wins. They also earn a bye into the 2021 Road to the Roar Pre-Trials and qualify for a World Curling Federation World Cup event during the 2019-20 season. Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., beat Calgary’s Kevin Koe 5-4 in the men’s final later Sunday.
