Brad Jacobs Dominates South Korea, Improves to 3-0 at Championships

UPDATE: Canada’s Brad Jacobs remains undefeated at the Pan Continental Curling Championships, improving to 3-0 after a decisive 14-6 victory over South Korea’s Soo-Hyuk Kim earlier today in Virginia.

The match, held on October 22, 2025, showcased Jacobs and his Calgary-based team breaking a 5-5 tie in the sixth end, scoring an impressive four points, followed by an additional five points in the eighth end. This win solidifies their strong position in the tournament, crucial for qualifying for the upcoming 2026 World Championships.

Despite a competitive first half from Kim’s rink, which pushed Jacobs early on, the Canadian team showcased exceptional skill, shooting an impressive 93 percent overall, with vice-skip Marc Kennedy leading the way at an outstanding 95 percent.

Next on the schedule, Jacobs’ rink will face New Zealand’s Sean Becker, who is currently 0-3, later today at the Iron Range Motors Event Center. This matchup is critical, as Canada aims to secure its spot for the world championships.

In women’s play, Rachel Homan and her Ottawa rink, currently 1-1, are set to compete against Mexico’s Team Adriana Camarena, who is 0-2. The stakes are high as teams battle for regional supremacy.

The Pan Continental Curling Championships serves as a vital qualifying event for both men and women heading into the world championship year, making each game a crucial stepping stone in the pursuit of international glory.
