Canadas Brad Jacobs looks to make it a gold medal sweep in curling for Canada when he takes on two-time world champion David Murdoch of Great Britain in the mens final on Friday. Catch all the live streaming action at 8:30am et/5:30am pt. Canada finished the roundrobin in second place with a 7-2 mark, putting together six straight wins heading into the playoffs. In Wednesdays semifinal against China, the foursome from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario scored three in the seventh end to snap a 4-4 tie and then punched their ticket to the final with three more in the ninth frame for a 10-6 victory. "It was definitely our best game," said Canadian third Ryan Fry. "We have a knack of being able to elevate our game in the big games. I dont know what the recipe is for that but we brought it for that game." Great Britain wrapped up the roundrobin in fourth spot with a record of 5-4, good enough for a berth in a tiebreaker with Norways Thomas Ulsrud. Trailing by one in the 10th end, Murdoch came through with a deuce and a 6-5 win to advance to a semifinal matchup against top-ranked Niklas Edin of Sweden, who finished with an 8-1 record. Once again trailing by one heading to the last frame, Murdoch again scored a deuce for a 6-5 win and a guaranteed medal for the first time in his third trip to the Olympics. "It is by far the best day I have ever had," said Murdoch after the win. "In past Olympic Games, I have been so close. Throughout my whole career, its the Olympic Games that matter and I have always been an inch away." Canada faced Great Britain in the roundrobin on Saturday and came away with a 7-5 decision in a game that came down to a steal by Jacobs in the 10th end.

Darius Phillips Jersey . The game was the first of two international friendlies that Canada is playing during the international break, with the second game against Slovenia set for Tuesday in Celje. Canada looked uncomfortable defensively throughout the game, and every free kick that came into Canadas penalty box looked like ending up in the back of the net.

Returning to Davis Cup tennis, Federer cruised past Ilija Bozoljac, winning 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 in less than two hours.

He extended his streak of under-par rounds to 22, making five birdies and a lone bogey on No. 17.I played well again today — maybe not quite as well as yesterday, but I had some chances today and didnt capitalize, Haas said. It was a little tougher today. The wind was stronger in places, and the course played differently. But Im pleased. Obviously I did some good things out there.Im glad to be in the lead. But in looking at that leaderboard, there were two 63s yesterday and a couple of 65s today. There are scores like that that can be shot out there. Im just going to have to be aggressive, and capitalize when I have the good shots.A 16-time winner on the 50-and-over tour, Haas has gone 27 months without a tournament win. His last title came in June 2012 in Des Moines, Iowa — also the last time that Haas has had sole possession of the lead entering a tournaments final round.I havent had the lead going into Sunday, but Ive hhad four or five really good chances to win and havent done it, Haas said.dddddddddddd It has been a while since Ive won, but Ive played as consistently this year as I ever have. I feel like Im going to go out and play a pretty good round tomorrow. Whether itll be good enough, well, well see.Joe Durant, tied for the first-round lead with Haas at 63, had a 69 to drop into a tie for second with Kirk Triplett and South Africas David Frost. Triplett, the winner last week in Cary, had a 66, and Frost shot 65.Frost, a five-time Champions Tour winner, had seven birdies and a bogey to make the best round of the day with Skip Kendall and Kenny Perry.There are a lot of birdies out there, Frost said. All in all, I played well. I feel like right now Im playing unconscious golf, having played so much golf the past three months. Im just going with the flow.Triplett had six birdies and a bogey, while Durant birdied the final three holes to finish with six birdies and four bogeys.If youre striking the ball solid, youre going to have some birdie chances, Triplett said. You cant be thinking youve going to shoot 2 under and move up or hold your place. Youve got to be aggressive, and try to make a half-dozen birdies.
