Another American pulls out
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.Kenny Perry yesterday joined the list of American withdrawals from the Open. Perry, winner of this year's Bob Hope Classic, cited family reasons. He joins Hale Irwin, Fuzzy Zoeller, Fred Couples and Tom Lehman on the sidelines.
His withdrawal gave the first reserve, fellow American Don Pooley, a place in the 156-man field at St Andrews. Pooley was beaten in a play- off from the qualifying round at Leven Links. Newcastle professional Michael Archer now becomes first reserve.
