The John Morris-Jim Cotter team fell short of its own expectations by missing the playoffs earlier this month at the Tim Hortons Brier in St. John香蕉视频直播檚, NL.

A little more than a week later, the Okanagan-based rink gained a measure of redemption with a big win in Port Hawkebsury, N.S.

The 2017 B.C. champs edged Sault St. Marie香蕉视频直播檚 Brad Jacobs 1-up on Sunday to capture the Princess Auto Elite 10 title, the fifth event of the season on the Pinty香蕉视频直播檚 Grand Slam series.

And the win came in dramatic fashion. With four in the house in the final end, but not sitting shot, Cotter angle-raised one of his team香蕉视频直播檚 own rocks to chip out Jacobs香蕉视频直播檚 counter for the winning point.

The Kelowna-Vernon team, which also features second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, earned $26,000 for the victory and along with it, a berth in the season-ending Humpty香蕉视频直播檚 Champions Cup in Calgary.

While it香蕉视频直播檚 the 11th time Morris has found the winner香蕉视频直播檚 circle in the series, it香蕉视频直播檚 his first with Cotter, Griffith and Rick Sawatsky. Cotter, Griffith and Sawatsky were runners-up twice in the series and captured the inaugural Tour Challenge Tier 2 title in 2015.
