"The boys have played really well and they've made my job easy, so I'm a very happy skip," said Scotland's skip Ross Whyte. 

"All the fans are here; our family and friends are really keeping us going. 

"We're just so pleased that everyone can make it, and hopefully it's going to help curling continue to get bigger."

Defending champions Sweden have also stayed unbeaten in the corresponding women's competition with an 8-6 win over Russia.

Scotland's day proved bittersweet, however, as their women's team lost 9-6 to Switzerland after an extra end.

Canada completed a double over the US with an 8-3 win to move into second place on three wins while Norway recovered from 5-1 down to triumph 10-5 against Turkey.

China also beat South Korea 7-1.
