4 Canadian Sports Stories
Hello. Congratulations to Team Sweden for winning the Ford Women's World Curling Championships. They can add that to the Olympic gold from last month, and last year's world championship. What a 12 month stretch!
Kudos to Team USA for taking Sweden to the last rock. An excellent tournament.
Team Canada unfortunately came up short in their semi-final against the USA. The USA were the better team all week, and deserved to move to the final. However, Canada was right in it until their last rock. Definitely a tough loss, especially on home ice.
I was a bit heavy and wide on my $25,000 throw. My rock was just past the T-line, half on the 8-foot, half on the 12-foot. Oh well. It was fun to be involved. The closest shot of the 10 was half 4-foot, half 8-foot.
It was a great curling season for our team. We're really looking forward to next year. In fact, we're even going to play in the men's competitive together (other than Sue). I'm hoping we'll still have fun while improving with the better competition.
Going into the final round of the Players Championship, Stephen Ames was one shot ahead of Vijay Singh, with a stellar group right behind. What did he do? Only put together a 67, 2 shots better than anyone else that day, to win by 6. Congratulations Stephen on your biggest career win. All the best on the PGA Tour over the next 5 years! Maybe everyone here will consider you a Canadian now.
Mike Weir was 3 back going into Sunday's play. He ended up +1 for the tournament after shooting a 79. Combine this with an 80 in the last round of the AT&T, and things aren't looking great. In fact I'd call it a mental obstacle. Let's hope he can overcome his difficulties by the Masters.
Regards,
Steve
