Tiger Shoots 1-Under at U.S. Open

Tiger Woods began his quest for a 15th major with a 1-under-par 69 Thursday, only three shots behind the leader at the U.S. Open at San Francisco's Olympic Club.

Woods' day was good enough to tie him for second with fellow American David Toms, three strokes behind the leader Michael Thompson.

Jack Nicklaus holds the record with 18 major titles.

Donald Driver Brings Mirror Ball Trophy to Green Bay

Green Bay Packer's wide receiver Donald Driver took home the coveted mirror ball trophy on the season finale of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

He may have wrapped up the trophy Monday night during his country-themed freestyle dance. And he and pro partner Peta Murgatroyd repeated the feat Tuesday with his shirt-free cha-cha, earning a perfect 30 from the judges and a total of 89 for the two nights.

Driver adds to the list of football players who have had success on the show.

Driver defeated Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins, who was runner-up, and Latin actor and model William Levy to become the third football star (after Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward) to win on DWTS.

It's looking like next season's DWTS will feature stars from previous seasons.

Donald Driver Goes Country on DWTS

It was down tot he final 3 last night on "Dancing With the Stars."

William Levy, Katherine Jenkins and Donald Driver.

I think Driver stole the show.

The Green Bay Packer was at his very best on his first dance, an Argentine tango with scintillating lifts. One of the judges, Len Goodman complained it was too careful. But Carrie Ann Inaba loved it, and Bruno Tonioli said the dance was effective. Points: 29, with 9 from Goodman.

The freestyle dance was next.

Driver and partner, Peta Murgatroyd went country on a high-energy routine with exceptional lifts. She was remarkable in the way she moved through the routine, with Driver's help.  The crowd loved it and so did the judges.  Inaba said it was her favorite dance of the night. "Fantastic," Goodman ruled. Points: 30, more perfection.

Points awarded by judges on Monday night were: Jenkins 30, Levy 29 and Driver 29.  It's anyone's guess who will win.

The winner will be named in a two-hour extravaganza that starts at 9 p.m. Tuesday on ABC.

Donald and Peta Stand Third on DWTS

This season of "Dancing With the Stars" is coming down to the wire.

To use a football analogy, it's the two-minute warning.

On Monday’s semifinal, Green Bay Packer Donald Driver was close to perfect.  He and partner Peta Murgatroyd are in third place with a 57 out of 60 heading into tonight’s elimination, which will narrow the field to the final three for next week’s finale.

I think he stands an excellent chance of making it to the finals.

The standings after Monday’s two rounds of competition: Maria Menounos, 59; William Levy, 58; Driver, 57; and Katherine Jenkins, 56.

Jenkins, and her partner Mark Ballas look to be the odd couple out right now.  Whoever makes it through, will make up a great final trio.

Donald Driver Hopes to Avoid Double Elimination

As a wide receiver, Donald Driver is used to double-coverage, but double elimination has to scare the crap out of him.

This week, it's going to be a Latin dance again, and then also a dance where Driver will get paired with another dance pro.  Looks like Karina will be doing a routine with No. 80.

Two unlucky couples will be gone after this week, let's hope DD makes the cut.
