Tony Romo Fails to Qualify for U.S. Open, Shoots for Byron Nelson

Tony Romo likes to pick up his golf clubs during the offseason and play on any golf course he can find. He’s played with Michael Jordan and Justin Timberlake, and he’s been ripped by golf legend Lee Trevino.

While Romo is a decent golfer his game isn’t quite ready for the big stage. Yesterday it wasn’t good enough for a pitch and putt.

Thanks to the Dallas Morning News we know that Romo played the back nine like he was under center in a playoff game.

After an even-par front nine under rainy conditions early, Romo shot a 44 on the back nine with bogeys at Nos. 11, 12, 14, 15 and 17 as the wind kicked up. He also had a triple-bogey on No. 16.

If Romo had qualified for the Open he would’ve had a small scheduling problem. The U.S. Open is at Bethpage June 18-20 and the Cowboys have a minicamp June 16-18. Now that he’s failed to make the Open for the second year in a row Tony won’t have to make a decision. Romo attempts to qualify for the Byron Nelson Championship later today.
