Tiger finishes with up & down 71 at Greenbrier

Tiger Woods will seek his second consecutive PGA Tour victory and fourth of the season. But he comes from behind to do it.

Woods launched a first round of 1 to 71 on a Thursday from top to bottom throughout the year at the Greenbrier Classic, placing eight strokes club leader Vijay Singh (63).

Woods opened with 'birdies' at numbers 11 and 12 (started 10) for a short 2 low, but then began to fight. The bogey on 13, 17 and double bogey offset 'Birdie' at No. 1 with another bogey at No. 2, and a 'birdie' at No. 5 with a bogey at No. 7.

Woods is a victory Sunday at the AT & T National at Congressional Country Club, which hosts a tournament. This comes on top to win Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Jack Nicklaus.

Singh, however, was the target at all.
"It's my first round I would say most of the year is likely to go down," he said. "It is a good way to start a tournament."
