Tony Romo Misses Chance To Play In U.S. Open

DALLAS (AP) ― Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo won't have to worry about missing practice time on the football field because of a tee time at the U.S. Open.

Romo shot a 5-over 75 yesterday in a qualifying event for the Open, finishing four shots out of a playoff for the eighth and final spot for a chance to compete in sectional qualifying.

Romo says he found a good rhythm on the backside, but it just took too long to get started.

He says he hasn't been able to practice or prepare for the golf event -- since he's "got a lot of football stuff."

The U.S. Open is June 9-12.

The Cowboys have organized team activities June 10-12, then their lone minicamp June 17-19.

But Romo will be at the Open as a celebrity guest for an event June 6th.

Romo is scheduled to play May 21st in the pro-am prior to the Colonial in Fort Worth.
