Edin defeated the defending Olympic champion, Brad Jacobs rink from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The women's final was a battle of Ontario with Caledon's Allison Flaxey upsetting the World #1 Rachel Homan rink from Ottawa to win her first ever Grand Slam event.
The total purse for both the men's and women's event was $125,000 with the winner's share being $30,000. This is the largest purse in Masters history.
