In a remarkable day of curling, Matt Dunstone, the skip of Team Saskatchewan, was simply perfect on the fourth day of the 2020 Tim Hortons Brier from Kingston, Ontario. Dunstone skipped 100% in a 6-4 win over Ontario’s John Epping in the afternoon and then skipped 100% again in a 5-4 win over Canada’s Kevin Koe in the evening on Tuesday.
With the pair of victories, Saskatchewan has found themselves in a two-way tie with Mike McEwen’s Team Wildcard squad and in first place in Pool A.
There is one team still undefeated. That is Alberta’s Brendan Bottcher, who has a perfect record of six wins and zero losses. On Tuesday, Alberta came through with a 6-2 win over Nova Scotia and a 7-3 win over Quebec. Bottcher wraps up Pool B play on Wednesday against 2019 World Senior Champion Bryan Cochrane, who is skipping Prince Edward Island.
There are two other teams above .500 in Pool B. They are Newfoundland’s Brad Gushue (4-1) and Manitoba’s Jason Gunnlaugson (3-2). Northern Ontario and Nova Scotia are tied for fourth place at three wins and three losses.
In Pool A, Koe’s Team Canada team has a record of four wins and two losses and sit in third. New Brunswick’s James Grattan is in fourth place with a record of three wins and two losses.
