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.

A "BORING" one-over-par 72 by John Daly left him trailing England's Anthony Wall by five shots at yesterday's halfway stage of the Hong Kong Open. Daly had two bogeys and a birdie in the first five holes before parring the remainder for a two-round total of four-under 138.

Wall, who finished 90th on this year's European Tour, shot a six-under- par 65. He moved to the front on 133 after the first-round leader, Hsieh Chin-sheng of Taiwan, dropped three strokes on the final three holes for a 70.

"I am a bit surprised to be in the lead," said Wall, who had three top 10 finishes on the 1998 European Tour.

Wall leads Hsieh by a stroke and is three ahead of Mark Brooks and Taiwan's Wang Ter-chang.

Tiger Woods had four straight bogeys in the second round of the Casio World Open in Ibusuki, Japan, yesterday. Woods shot a two-over-par 74 to be six strokes behind the leader, Hidemichi Tanakag.
