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.

Nick Faldo is 14 shots off the pace after shooting a two-over par 72 in the second round of the US Tour championship at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Faldo trails Open champion Tom Lehman, who shot a sparkling 67 in blustery conditions to move to seven under and seize a four-shot lead ahead of the Fijian Vijay Singh. Victory for Lehman will see him win the PGA Player of the Year award and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average, while he still has a chance of finishing ahead of Phil Mickleson in the money list. Tiger Woods, who spent half the night at a local hospital after his father, Earl, was kept under observation for a problem related to bronchitis, fell out of contention after soaring to an eight-over-par 78.
