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.

Marcus Fraser ended a seven-year winless streak after coasting to a four-shot victory at the Ballantine's Championship yesterday but only after the Australian hit rock bottom.

The 31-year-old has been a regular fixture on the European Tour since winning his first title at the 2003 Russian Open, but admitted he was on the verge of walking away from the game before a prosperous 2009 season.

At Pinx Golf Club in Jeju, South Korea, Fraser returned to the winners circle, a three-under-par 69 securing victory over Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin and compatriot Brett Rumford at the weather-affected 54-hole event.

"I have had a lot of chances over the last six or seven years to win and I haven't taken them and a lot of doubt creeps into your mind," Fraser said.
