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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy returns to Royal Portrush hoping to add a Claret Jug to his Green Jacket at The Open this week. <\/p>\n
The Northern Irishman, who grew up nearby in Hollywood, is a strong contender this week on the links, behind only Scottie Scheffler in the betting markets. <\/p>\n
Shane Lowry has fond memories of Portrush, having triumphed six years ago, prevailing by six shots over Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood. <\/p>\n
And the groupings and tee times for the first two rounds of The 153rd Open have been announced, with McIlroy playing alongside Fleetwood and two-time major winner Justin Thomas.<\/p>\n
While Scottie Scheffler is on the opposite side of the draw with the American joining home favourite Lowry and his Team USA colleague Collin Morikawa. Defending champion Xander Schauffele makes up a star-studded trio with Jon Rahm and US Open champion JJ Spaun. Here is the full list of groupings, tee times and the schedule for Thursday and Friday: <\/p>\n
