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.The English amateur champion, Joanne Hockley, had to pull out of the American Express European Women's Tour qualifying school before teeing off in the opening round at La Manga in Spain yesterday. Hockley, making her professional debut, pulled a ligament in her right ankle last week.
Colin Montgomerie was yesterday named the winner of the 1996 Canon Shot of the Year award. The shot was his second to the 547-yard final hole of the Dubai Desert Classic in March. Faced with a 222-yard carry into the wind over water to the green, Montgomerie used his driver and hit it to within 15 feet of the flag. Leading by one at the time, the Scot, who was playing in his first event of the season, took two putts for a birdie which gave him victory and launched what was to become his fourth successive year at the top of Europe's Order of Merit. Last year's winner of the Shot of the Year was Nick Faldo for his pitch to the final hole of his Ryder Cup singles match with Curtis Strange.
