LONDON, Ont. — Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador defeated Alberta’s Kevin Martin 10-5 in eight ends to capture the bronze medal Sunday at the Tim Hortons Brier.

Martin, the Olympic men’s curling champion, scored two in the seventh end to pull to within 6-4.

But Gushue cemented the victory with four in the eighth.

Later on Sunday, Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton faces Ontario’s Glenn Howard in the Canadian men’s curling final.
