Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

John Daly, who said he wanted to go out in style yesterday, ended his unsuccessful defence of the Open title with his worst round of the week - a six-over-par 77 that left him on a five-over-par total of 289.

Daly, who was five under par after 10 holes of his first round, started the final day on one under following rounds of 70, 73 and 69. He lost his way over the opening holes, dropping five shots in the first four, and wrapped up the round with a second double-bogey six at the 18th.

That completed a year's reign in which his best finish was fifth in the Heineken Classic in Australia in February.
