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 Malcolm McKenzie is just two shots off the lead in the South African Players' Championship after a second-round 63 in Durban yesterday.
McKenzie's round, the lowest of the day, was only one shot off the course record. His two-round total of 134 is two behind the leader, the American Ron Whittaker, who is playing in only his 10th professional tournament.
Whittaker shot an eight-under-par round of 64 to add to his first-round total of 68. Zimbabwe's Tony Johnstone is third after a four-under-par 68 for a two-round total of 136.
Britain's Chris Davison and Michael Archer, who were among the first-round leaders, both shot second-round 74s.
n A hole in one with a six-iron on the 163-yard, par-three 17th hole enabled Barb Mucha, of the United States, to snatch a one-stroke lead after a first-round 68 at the LPGA Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida.
Beth Daniel was second and Betsy King and Tammie Green third on 71, with Britain's LPGA champion, Laura Davies, and the defending champion, Dottie Mochrie, fifth on 72.
