It doesn’t seem the least bit fair that Tony Romo can enjoy the perks of being quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys AND be a top level golfer. While the rest of us looked on envy, Tony Romo survived a three-hole playoff this past Thursday to advance to sectional qualifying for next month’s U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.
“It’s nice to know that you can do things and get your blood pressure and emotions under control in this situation and still do good things,” Romo told The Dallas Morning News. “And that carries over to football, and I try to use the way you think, the way you breathe, all those things in football and it’s just another tool to help you get better.”
Tony Romo’s final putt with darkness approaching earned him a spot in the 36-hole sectional qualifying at The Woodlands, Texas, on June 7. Ninety qualifiers from 13 nationwide sectional events will earn berths in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links on June 17-20.
