The 1959 Western Canada Women's Curling Championship was held to March 9 to 12 at the Brandon Curling Club in Brandon, Manitoba.
Manitoba, skipped by Isabelle Ketchen won the double round robin event, finishing with a 4âÂÂ2 record.
Manitoba defeated British Columbia 10âÂÂ9 in the sixth round to claim the championship. Both teams had identical 3âÂÂ2 records going into the last draw, meaning the winner would finish in first place. The game came down to the 12th and final end, in which B.C. had the hammer, and were trailing Manitoba 10âÂÂ8. On her last stone, Ketchen made a freeze to a B.C. stone in the four-foot. B.C. skip Marge Tegart attempted a chip shot on her last, and ended up bumping one of her rocks back to sit one, not enough to tie the game.
Manitoba had a chance to clinch the title in the fifth round, but lost badly to Alberta, 18âÂÂ4.
