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.Justin Rose returned home yesterday £150,000 richer from his first trip to America. After finishing 23rd and earning £29,000 in the US PGA, his first major in the States, the 22-year-old collected nearly £122,000 for fifth place in the NEC world championship in Seattle on Sunday.
The Australian Craig Parry took first prize, his first US Tour victory in 236 events going back to 1987, but Rose was only one shot behind Tiger Woods. It was a good week too for Lee Westwood. Joint 15th place represented his best finish of a dire season and was a timely boost with the Ryder Cup a month away. "I'll keep working and hopefully it will get better and better," he said.
Darren Clarke was one shot further back in 19th place on four under.
