OAKVILLE, Ont. — Scotland's Team Bruce Mouat picked up where they left off last season in the Pinty's Grand Slam of Curling.

"It's very exciting," skip Bruce Mouat said."We're so glad to be back at the Slams and playing good curling. To be able to win a competition like this, it feels like we're doing something right back home when we're training. Playing in front of Canadian crowds is always a lot of fun." "As I said when we won the Players', being part of that group of players and being able to win something like that is really special but to now be on an even shorter list of people, being the only Scottish men's team to do it and other historical things that are coming with it is meaning a lot to us," Mouat said."Obviously, going to keep on trying to improve and win more.

Jacobs drew right to the button on his first skip stone in the second, but Mouat followed suit with his last. That forced Jacobs into a risky hit off a guard and into the four-foot circle to tap Mouat's rock and score his rewarding deuce. Team Jacobs won three GSOC men's titles during the 2019-20 season prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Jacobs, who collected $20,000 and nine Pinty's Cup points, has won seven championships in the series and was denied the chance to finish the checklist with only the Masters left to cross off.
