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.

Jesper Parnevik, the Swede who has played on the US Tour since 1994, has rejoined the European circuit so he will be eligible to earn points towards the 1999 European Ryder Cup squad.

Justin Rose comfortably avoided the cut in the European PGA pre-qualifier at Chart Hills, Kent, after a second-round 72 left him four over par on 148. However, the 18-year-old is still some way from making it to the final 10 who will go to the PGA qualifying school at San Roque and Sotogrande. "There are nine guys at 200 or better so realistically I've got to hit something like a 66," he predicted, ahead of today's round.
