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.

Alberto Croce holed a 25ft putt for an eagle-three on the final green to win the Lawrence Batley Seniors tournament in a tense climax at Fixby, Huddersfield, yesterday. The 55-year-old Italian took the title after closing with a three-under-par 68 for a four-under total of 209.

A play-off seemed likely when Croce and his playing partners, Tommy Horton and Malcolm Gregson, arrived at the 18th at two under par. John Morgan was already in the clubhouse on the same score, having shot a four-under 67.

Horton made his birdie for a closing 69 and 210 for second place, but Gregson three-putted to share third place with Morgan on 211.
