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.DAVID FEHERTY, who was involved in a tie for fourth place during the Open at Turnberry the previous weekend, was denied by just a single shot from winning the New England Classic at Sutton, Massachusetts, yesterday when the American Kenny Perry recorded a six-under-par 65 for victory.
The Northern Irishman birdied three of four holes to close within a stroke after the 17th. He missed a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole, however, and Perry registered a par to complete his second bogey-free round.
Perry, a consistent player in eight seasons on the American circuit, recorded his only previous US PGA triumph at the 1991 Memorial tournament. His four-day total of a 16-under par 268 at Sutton was only a stroke off the course record.
Meanwhile, Patty Sheehan took advantage of a stumbling finish by Helen Alfredsson to take a one- stroke lead after three rounds of the US Women's Open at Lake Orion, Michigan, on Saturday.
Sheehan fired a two-under-par 69 to lead the field with a seven- under-par 206, one stroke ahead of Tammie Green and two in front of Alfredsson, who shot a 76.
