Tony Romo Does Not Make It To US Open

Although Romo’s PGA Tour debut at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship earlier this year landed with a bit of a thud, the plus-handicapper had advanced through local qualifying once before, in 2010, when he shot 69 at the Honors Golf Club outside of Dallas.

Still, things improved for Romo at the reachable par-5 5th hole.

His approach shot left him in the fairway just short of the green, and he hit a well-judged putt to inside two feet, which he cleaned up for birdie.

The very next hole, after a wayward second shot, Romo chunked a flop shot into the front pond, leading to a double bogey.

He settled down after that while parring holes 7, 8, and 9 before an up-and-down for birdie from a greenside bunker at the par-5 10th.

A pair of closing pars left Romo with a 77.
