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.It was fun out there. Whatever I tried seemed to work. Tom Watson.
I am going home to pull the knife out of my heart. John Daly.
I was pretty amazed that nobody could find it. It was just about my only bad swing and I paid a real heavy price. Daly, on losing his ball on the beach near the 10th hole.
He four-putted because he missed his third putt - we have all done it, gentlemen. Fuzzy Zoeller on Daly's travails.
Maybe they will get me tomorrow. Zoeller, after getting birdies on all four par threes.
It took me 17 holes to undo what I did on the 17th yesterday, but then a nice putt on the last gave me something back. Nick Faldo.
He's back and we'd better watch out for him over the weekend. Ernie Els on Faldo.
Perhaps it's a good place to be, coming from behind. The course gives you enough to worry about, let alone being out in front. Faldo.
Look at today's scores and you will get a pretty good idea of the way we are heading. If I keep improving I will be looking at the top of the leaderboard come Sunday. Greg Norman.
I think I can win. I've got nothing better to do this weekend. David Feherty.
What can I say? I played with Jack Nicklaus and I'm leading the Open. It's fabulous. Jesper Parnevik, before being overhauled by Watson.
It's the old cliche, but I'm taking it one day at a time, one shot at a time. Watson.
I'm certain this is my lowest score in a major. You could win several majors and not shoot lower than that so I am proud. Mark Brooks.
