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.Brad Faxon recovered from his disappointing second round to shoot a six-under-par 66 and recapture the lead in the Australian Open after three rounds in Melbourne. The American, who led after a record-equalling 65 in the first round but fell three strokes off the pace on Friday following a 74, was 11 under par, two shots ahead of the Australians Robert Allenby, Wayne Grady and Jeff Woodland. Faxon started birdie-birdie, reached the turn in four-under-par 33 and had two more birdies before coming home with four straight pars. Greg Norman struggled, shooting a 73 to leave himself 13 shots behind Faxon.
