Homan defeats Fleury to win Grand Slam of Curling’s Tour Challenge
THUNDER BAY, Ont. — Ottawa’s Rachel Homan capped her undefeated run at the Tour Challenge with a title win.
Homan scored three points apiece in the second and fifth ends en route to an 8-4 victory over Tracy Fleury in the women’s final on Sunday, halting the East St. Paul, Man., skip’s own unbeaten run.
Homan shot 85 per cent to lead her team compared to Fleury’s 66.
The win was Homan’s first at the Tour Challenge and eighth overall on the Grand Slam of Curling circuit. Sunday’s match was also Homan’s second straight appearance in a Grand Slam final — she lost to Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg two weeks ago at the Masters.
