Romo Blames Football For Local Qualifier 75; Now He Can Focus On Important Stuff: USGA Reality Show

The Cowboys QB will still get to play Torrey Pines thanks to his exemption into the June 6 whatever-it's-called-contest.

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

"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.

 How nice for his playing partners. I take it those were cameras developing the reality show backstory? If so, nice touch.

"I just haven't been able to practice or prepare. I've got a lot of football stuff. That's part of it."

The U.S. Open is June 9-12. The Cowboys have organized team activities June 10-12, then their lone minicamp June 17-19.

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

Nice that AP didn't bother to, uh, brand it.
