White Sulphur Springs (United States) (AFP) - Tiger Woods shook off a late double-bogey with birdies at his last three holes to post a four-under par 66 in the first round of the Greenbrier Classic on Thursday.

The 14-time major champion posted his best first-round score of 2015 by seven strokes.

It was also his first round in the 60s since the Masters, where rounds of 69 and 68 in the second and third helped him finish tied for 17th.
