Canada’s Kevin Koe comes from behind to win Grand Slam of Curling Players’ Championship | CBC Sports
Kevin Koe pulled it off again.
The Canadian skip came from behind for a 5-4 win over Yannick Schwaller of Switzerland on Sunday in Toronto to win the Players’ Championship — his fifth Grand Slam of Curling title as a skip.
The 48-year-old Koe was losing 4-2 in the eighth end with one shot to go at the Mattamy Athletic Centre, but he pulled off a triple takeout for the thrilling comeback victory.
Koe’s Calgary rink features lead Karrick Martin, second Brad Thiessen and third Tyler Tardi.
