(AP) -- Vijay Singh shot a 7-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Greenbrier Classic, leaving Tiger Woods eight strokes back.
 
The 49-year-old Singh birdied his final four holes on The Old White TPC course.

He won the last of his 34 PGA Tour titles in 2008.
 
Jeff Maggert, a year younger than Singh, was a stroke back at 64 along with Jonathan Byrd and Martin Flores. U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson topped a group at 65.
 
Woods, coming off a victory Sunday at Congressional, had a 71.

He stumbled with a double bogey on the par-5 17th, driving into a hazard, taking a penalty stroke and three-putting from 20 feet.
 
Phil Mickelson, who missed the cut last year, also had a 71.
 
Defending champion Scott Stallings birdied his final three holes for a 67.
