Pair in contention after Lee Westwood’s withdrawalMcIlroy, Ancer and Berger share lead at Hero World ChallengeHenrik Stenson and Luke Donald are the leading contenders to captain Europe in the 2023 Ryder Cup, with Lee Westwood’s move to withdraw his name from the running leaving the European Tour with a decision that is far from straightforward.
