Scotland double up on opening World Champs outing

First up was South Korea, with Scotland blanking the first end before opening the scoring with two shots in the second.

Korea could only score one in the third end and then, after blanking the fourth, Brewster hit out a Korean stone to score two more, for a 4-1 half-time lead.

In the sixth Scotland stole three shots when Korea's skip Soo Hyuk Kim attempted to come in off a winger, an attempt that failed.

Korea scored two in the seventh end and then Brewster had a draw for two more in the eighth end when Kim missed an attempted take-out. Korea then conceded, with a final score of 9-3.

The Scots then followed this up with a 6-3 victory over Norway when returning to the ice later that same day.

"I am very happy," said Brewster after the opening win. "We weren't actually sure what we'd get from them today – we haven't actually played that side.

"I've watched on a couple of occasions and I know (David) Murdoch has played them three times this year, so we got a little bit of info from Scott (Andrews – alternate on the team), but you’re never quite sure, especially on arena ice."
