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.Andy Sullivan has won a trip to space next year after recording a hole-in-one during the final round of the KLM Open in Zandvoort, Netherlands.
Sullivan, from Nuneaton, secured the prize after he became the first player to achieve the feat at the competition on the par-three 15th hole on Sunday.
"I'll have to pluck up some serious courage, but I'd love to do it," the 28-year-old, who eventually finished third at the event, told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I didn't play great through the round, but then I hit a perfect shot like that. What an experience.
"My caddie just shouted 'we're going to space'."
The tournament was won by fellow Englishman Paul Casey. Unlike Sullivan, Casey won't be flying to space, but he did say he was "over the moon".
"I'm absolutely over the moon," Casey said.
"It's a very difficult stretch coming in and I am very, very happy the way I balanced having fun on the golf course but being focused and got the job done."
