America's Jim Furyk, Ricky Fowler and Steve Stricker are currently tied for ninth at two-under par alongside England's Lee Westwood and two-time champion, Germany's Bernhard Langer.
The loss of the England man, who was replaced by Steve Staunton, left Liverpool with no forwards, following Berger's withdrawal and long-term injuries to Robbie Fowler and Titi Camara.
