Kerri Einarson won her seventh Grand Slam of Curling title and first in two years, beating South Korea's Team Kang 6-3 in the women's final at the Co-op Invitational in Victoria on Sunday.
Einarson's new-look rink never trailed en route to its first Grand Slam title together. Her team from Gimli, Man., consists of third Shannon Birchard, second Karlee Burgess and lead Jocelyn Peterman.
Team Kang, skipped by Kim Kyeong-ae, tied the game at 2-2 in the third end after Einarson scored singles in the first two, but the five-time Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion responded by scoring two with her final shot in the fourth.
Einarson added another deuce in the sixth after holding Kim to a single in the fifth.

Kerri Einarson and her rink from Gimli, Man., defeated South Korea's Team Kang 6-3 in the women's final at the Grand Slam of Curling's Co-op Invitational in Victoria. Team Kang was skipped by by Kim Kyeong-ae because their usual skip, Kang Bo-bae, is focusing on mixed doubles this season after winning the national title in that event.Top-ranked Yannick Schwaller of Switzerland will face Norway’s Magnus Ramsfjell in the men’s final later Sunday.
The Co-op Invitational is the first of five stops on a newly compressed Grand Slam of Curling tour that will be completed before Christmas. The next stop is the Masters in Medicine Hat, Alta., from Nov. 3-8.
