Brad Gushue and Team Canada took the lead and going into the last rock they were up by two. With the final stone Team Canada added onto the lead to beat Team Scotland 8-4.

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — Canada's Brad Gushue improved to 3-0 following an 8-4 win over defending champion Bruce Mouat of Scotland at the world men's curling championship on Sunday.

Gushue, from St. John's, N.L., jumped out to a 4-1 edge through five ends before Mouat made a push.

The Scottish rink made it a 6-4 game with two points in the eighth end.

However, Gushue was able to reply with two of his own in the ninth before Mouat conceded the game.

The game was a rematch of the 2023 gold-medal final. Sunday's victory allows Canada to be ahead of Scotland in any head-to-head tiebreakers.

Canada now sits atop the standings, with Sweden also at 3-0, and next plays Italy on Monday.
