Davies joins the big boys
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.Britain's Laura Davies believes the mantle of being the first woman to compete in the AT&T Australian Skins tournament will not be a burden at this weekend's event at Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast.
The longest hitter in the women's game, who will line up against the Americans John Daly and Tom Watson and Australia's Peter Senior in the event, insisted: "It's just a round of golf. I've played in quite a few skins before and anyone can win - that's the great thing about it. You can play the best and win nothing, or play the worst and win everything."
Davies, who has twice won the Australian Ladies Masters at nearby Royal Pines, said she would have to find an extra 900 yards playing off the men's championship tees. "That's a lot, but I'm not worried about it."
