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.St Andrews has provided the organisers of the Open with a repeat of the headaches they suffered at Birkdale in 1991 and Lytham St Annes in 1988.
The field for this year's final two days of play is 103, only marginally short of the record number of 113 at Birkdale.
The competition rule which states that all players within 10 shots of the leaders play the final two days means an early start of 7.10am for those players on four over par, with the leaders off at 3pm.
In addition to the organisational chaos, the extra large field is likely to cost the R&A an additional pounds 100,000 in prize money; those making the cut qualify for a minimum of pounds 4,000.
