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.Matt Kuchar fired a seven under par 64 to move within two strokes of the defending champion Justin Leonard after three rounds of the Texas Open in San Antonio.
Kuchar, the 1997 US Amateur champion, had seven birdies in a bogey-free round as he seeks his first PGA Tour victory.
"I have not been in contention before. I'm excited about it," Kuchar said. "It takes a lot of work to play out here." Leonard carded a 68 for a 54-hole total of 16 under par on 197 as he tries to become the first Texas Open repeat winner since Arnold Palmer in 1961-62.
Carl Paulson shot a three-under 68 and finished the day where he started it – three shots behind Leonard.
The first round leader Marco Dawson, Tom Scherrer and JJ Henry are five strokes off the pace on 202.
