The Brad Gushue rink, which includes PEI natives Brett Gallant and Adam Casey, are 6-0, and have made the 8:30 am Atlantic final at the Baden Masters in Switzerland, after beating the two-time defending champion Sven Michel rink from Switzerland 8-1 in this morning’s semi-final. In the final, the Canadian rink will be playing Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud team, who scored a triple in the last end to come from behind and beat the Swiss Pascal Hess foursome from Switzerland 6-4 in the other semi-final.
The winning team from the final will take home 11,000 Swiss Francs (about $12,480 Canadian dollars), while the runner-up will receive 7000 Swiss Francs (around $7940 Cdn.)
Gushue won the event back in 2007 and 2009. The final will be webcast live at www.badenmasters.ch/
