Romo's Golf Misfire: US Open Dreams Shattered

0:00On April 30th, Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, just swung and missed big time in his bid for the U.S. Open. The guy who threw for over 34,000 yards in the NFL tried a local golf qualifier at Ridgewood Country Club in Waco, Texas, but posted a 9-over par 79 that's 11 shots shy of what he needed to advance. After hanging up his cleats 12 years ago, Romo dove into broadcasting with CBS Sports where he started as a fan favorite. Lately though, some viewers have turned sour on his commentary, even calling for the network to bench him. Golf's been his side hustle for years, and he's got special permission to chase spots in majors like the U.S. Open, which hits every June. But Talon alone and Kudney yet, he needed to score in the low 60s of 70s to snag one of the six final qualifying spots, and it just wasn't his day. Now he'll regroup for next year's shot at the big stage. Romo's proving live some multi-sport game broadcast booth one day, fairways the next.
