World's Best Proves It Again

Hello. That title will be used tomorrow for Tiger Woods, but today it's for Glenn Howard.
I was alternating between golf and curling Sunday afternoon, as I'm sure many were. It was a pleasure to see two dominating performances.
Glenn Howard's team just seems to be the best at winning close games. Their ability to hold the opponent to only one point without the hammer, and to get 2+ points with the hammer, looks to be without parallel. They faced a tough Kevin Koe team Sunday, yet made it look like they were playing against me. Koe was never really in it. He got one point in the first with hammer, then fell behind to stay. Once Howard stole 2 in the 3rd, it was game over.
Howard doesn't peel away a game like Martin and Middaugh. It looks like he doesn't have to. The supporting cast of Savill, Laing and Hart are so solid with their shots Glenn has a good situation when he gets to throw. And in the times he doesn't, like the 7th, Glenn is still able to make the throws.
Will this team repeat as world champs again? I don't like to jinx my university buddy, so I'll refrain from commenting. However, as Mike Harris said, they'll be tough to beat.

Regards,
Steve
