Fleury successfully defends Masters women's title with extra-end win over Jones
Mouat scores 3 in 8th end to defeat Jacobs in men's final
Tracy Fleury scored a deuce in an extra end for a 9-7 victory over Jennifer Jones in the women's final at the Masters on Sunday afternoon.
Down one without hammer in the eighth end, Jones, a Winnipeg native, used her final stone to gently tap her shot rock to sit two.
Fleury, from East St. Paul, Man., managed to clear out one stone after a fortunate redirect to force the extra end. She maintained hammer after the steal and put the pressure on Jones to score the pair for the victory.
"We're really excited," Fleury said. "That was quite the battle, a really exciting game. We're very happy."
