Langley soars to first-round lead

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — For a change, Tiger Woods got off to a good start.

Woods rebounded from a dismal U.S. Open with a 4-under-par 66 in Thursday’s opening round of The Greenbrier Classic, 4 shots behind leader Scott Langley, a former Illini.

Helped by a morning rain that softened the Old White TPC course in West Virginia, Woods posted his lowest score of the season and matched his best in relation to par.

It was only the fourth time he shot in the 60s in 21 rounds. None were on the first day of a tournament.
