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.COLIN MONTGOMERIE begins his campaign for a third successive Murphy's Irish Open title this week cheered by messages of support over his treatment at the recent US Open.
The Scot, subjected to heckling throughout the week at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, has had dozens of fans write to him on his Internet website.
"I've appreciated it very much and I've responded to every one," said the five-times European No 1, who believes he has made enemies simply by being the man who won the Ryder Cup match at Valderrama last year.
"Some were from Europe but there were many from America and it means a lot to me that they took the trouble to write. They said they were disgusted with how some of their fellow countrymen acted. You don't feel alone when people get in touch with you like that."
Montgomerie needed extra security for most of the championship.
