Koe was scheduled to play China’s Qiang Zou on Sunday night at the Enmax Centre.Throwing against three Canada stones in the first end, he found a small port to catch a piece of the four-foot ring for a one-point steal.
The two-time world champion skip was heavy with a draw in the fifth and Retornaz hit a runback to take a 4-2 lead into the mid-game break. In the seventh, Koe made a draw to set up a force and Retornaz delivered with a hit and roll for the lead. Canada responded with a deuce in the eighth.
