TORONTO — Canada’s Rachel Homan stole two points in the eighth end for a 6-4 win over Japan’s Sayaka Yoshimura on Saturday at the AMJ Players’ Championship.
Yoshimura needed to make an open draw to the four-foot ring with her final throw but her stone was heavy.
Homan, from Ottawa, was scheduled to play South Korea’s Eun-Jung Kim in the evening semifinal at the Mattamy Athletic Centre.
Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg defeated South Korea’s Seung-Youn Ha 6-3 in the other early playoff game. Hasselborg was set to meet Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni in the other women’s semifinal.
