faultless

And again in Paris two years ago, when one of the great faultless goalkeeping performances from Courtois left Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, in particular, driven to despair with Vinicius Jr emerging as the match-winner.

It was an almost faultless display by the 30-year-old Californian, who started on the 10th and had five birdies in his opening nine holes to climb to the top of the leaderboard.

He did not have to look hard for heroes in the shape of goalscorers Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin, the faultless Idrissa Gueye in midfield and keeper Pickford, who delivered several crucial saves and even indulged in some Klopp-style fist pumps towards Everton’s fans after one final save from Salah in the dying seconds.

And goalkeeper Pickford produced a faultless performance.

It was a faultless innings from Devine, who brought up her century to finish the game with two sixes off Dean, and helped New Zealand earn crucial points towards qualification for the 2025 World Cup in India.
