TORONTO — Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones maintained her strong start at the Players’ Championship while Ottawa’s Rachel Homan continued to stumble.

Jones started her day with an 8-7 victory over Edmonton’s Team Rocque skipped by Laura Crocker.
Anna Hasselborg of Sweden stayed undefeated at 3-0 in Pool B with a 6-2 win over Silvana Tirizoni in the late afternoon draw.
