LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) - Former world number one Lee Westwood, still hunting his first major title, gave his Ryder Cup prospects a massive boost as he charged into contention for the PGA Championship on Thursday.

The Englishman is on the outside looking in as he bids to earn selection for the Sept. 26-28 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland but gave European captain Paul McGinley plenty to think about with his sizzling form in the opening round.
