Tony Romo Comes Up Short in Attempting to Qualify for the US Open

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is an avid golfer, but his 9-over par score of 79 in a qualifier wasn’t enough.

Tony Romo is a man of many talents.

He was obviously a great football player for the Dallas Cowboys, where he was a four-time Pro Bowler for America’s Team and is still the franchise’s all-time leader in touchdown passes. He’s also a phenomenal broadcaster, having jumped from the field to the booth and become CBS’ No. 1 color commentator for the last decade.
