CALGARY — Canada’s Brad Gushue improved to 2-1 at the inaugural Pan Continental Curling Championships with an 11-2 win over Japan in Wednesday’s early draw.

Gushue’s team from St. John’s, N.L., opened with three points and added a big four-point fourth end in the lopsided win.

The Canadians capped the scoring with a steal of two in the seventh end, prompting Japanese skip Riku Yanagisawa to concede.

In other early draw results, New Zealand routed Brazil 13-3, South Korea downed the United States 10-6 and Chinese Taipei beat Australia 9-4.

Gushue was scheduled to face South Korea in Wednesday’s late draw.
