New York rink scores perfect end

Curling's hole-in-one was scored in this morning's action at the 2012 USA Curling Mixed Doubles National Championship at the Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland, Mass. In traditional curling, an eight-ender is the maximum you can score and as perfect - and rare - as golf's hole in one in championship action. In mixed doubles, it is six points and still rather rare. New York's team of Danielle Buchbinder and Michael Rupp (both of Buffalo, N.Y.) joined that exclusive club.

Buchbinder and Rupp hung six on the scoreboard, in the sixth end no less, in this morning's action against Seattle's Miyo Konno and Steve Lundeen. Konno and Lundeen know what it feels like to score six as the duo did it at the 2009 championship against clubmates Brady and Cristin Clark, who ironically were the first team to ever score six in a mixed doubles championship in the event's inaugural year.
