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.

altogether. Loren Roberts.
I think the man upstairs does the same to us every year. He gives us good weather and nice conditions for our practice days, and then brings on the wind. Jose-Maria Olazabal.
Anything under par today is good. I think the course is showing a little bit of teeth. Everybody was expecting guys to go out and shoot 63, 64 but all of us who have been around know that wind is going to make it difficult. Nick Price.
