Canada’s Team Rachel Homan came from behind to claim the Shorty Jenkins Classic women’s title.
Homan stole two points in the eighth end to edge Switzerland’s Team Silvana Tirinzoni 6-5 during Sunday’s final in Cornwall, Ont.
It was also a rematch of last season’s world championship gold medal game.
The Ottawa-based Team Homan, ranked No. 1 in the world, got out to a perfect start to the season finishing the tournament with an unblemished 8-0 record.
Yannick Schwaller and his Swiss squad captured their second title in as many weeks on the men’s side.
Schwaller also completed an 8-0 run with a 5-3 victory over Scotland’s Team Bruce Mouat in the men’s final.
Team Schwaller, ranked fourth overall, took the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard last weekend.
