Canada's Kevin Koe clinched first place at the World Curling Championship with a 6-4 win over Norway's Thomas Ulsrud on Thursday.

Koe will now play in Friday's 1v2 Page Playoff Game for a chance to advance to Sunday's final.

The Canadian rink had last rock advantage to open their Draw 15 game but had to settle for a single in the first end.

After Norway scored a deuce in the second end, Canada answered back with two of their own to make the score 3-2 through three ends.

With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh end, Canada executed a hit and stick for two to take the lead for good.

In other Draw 13 results, second-place Denmark improved to 7-3 with a 7-6 win over Scotland in an extra end, the United States kept pace with the Danes with an 8-6 victory over Korea and Finland rolled to a 9-3 win over Russia.

In Draw 14, Japan (7-3) moved into a three-way tie for second place with a 7-2 victory over Russia while Norway (7-4) swept past Switzerland to take sole possession of fifth place but skip Thomas Ulsrud needs some help to make the playoffs.

Scotland damaged the playoff hopes of Niklas Edin and Sweden (6-4) with a 6-4 decision and Korea outscored Germany, 9-6.

Canada takes on Sven Michel and Switzerland in the final roundrobin draw, today at 1pm et/10am pt on TSN1 and TSN GO.
