Wales' Laura Davies took silver in the women's singles after losing in the final to New Zealand's Jo Edwards.
Defending champion Edwards claimed a 21-17 victory after 23 ends.
Wales duo Marc Wyatt and Daniel Salmon will compete in Monday's men's pairs final against Scotland's Paul Foster and Alex Marshall.

"We beat the Aussies in their backyard," he said. "I knew it was up to me to deliver one or two big ones."
