Randy Ferbey has been criticised lately due his below average performance. But the critics have been silenced after the Ferbey Four toppled one of the best teams in the world to claim the 2009 Players' Championship. Ferbey edged out Glenn Howard in the final match 10-7.

It looked like this championship match could be over early. With Nedohin's final stone, he pulled off a great double take-out and scored four points. This game Ferbey's rink a 5-2 lead after three.

But Howard is the best in the world for a reason, and he used his experience to shake off the bad end and come back strong in the fourth. He tied the game up with three points in the fourth end.

The two teams traded points up until the final end, where the game was tied 7-7. Ferbey used the hammer to pick up three more points and win the championship.

This is the second time Ferbey has won the championship in his career. In addition to the $25,000, Ferbey's team also secures themselves a spot at next season's Olympic trials.
