Busy Tony Romo misses cut at U.S. Open local qualifying event
DALLAS -- Looks like football is getting in the way of Tony Romo’s golf game.
The Cowboys' Pro Bowl quarterback shot a 75 on Wednesday and failed to make the cut in a U.S. Open local qualifier at The Golf Club of Dallas. Romo was one of 107 golfers vying to advance to a sectional qualifier. The cutoff was 71 (par 70). Romo lost his bid after struggling on the front nine.
The U.S. Open is June 9-12 at Torrey Pines in San Diego.
Romo has been focused on training at Valley Ranch and preparing for the upcoming season, which has cut into his practice time on the course.
"I found a good rhythm on the backside, but it just took too long to get started,’’ said Romo, who had five video cameras and 25 people following him. "I just haven’t been able to practice or prepare. I’ve got a lot of football stuff. That’s part of it.’’
Romo has a busy golf schedule before training camp. He is scheduled to compete in a Celebrity Long Drive competition Friday at Trophy Club Country Club. He will play in the Colonial Pro Am on May 21 and is one of three celebrities (along with Justin Timberlake and Matt Lauer) participating in the Golf Digest U.S. Open contest at Torrey Pines on June 6.
