Tony Romo has taken a few criticism for accepting invites to pro tournaments. But now he's validated he is extreme about his sport. He's on his manner to the first degree of qualifying.
Many fans do not recognise how accurate a golfer Romo is. He entered the pre-qualifying stage of the Web.Com Tour Qualifying Tournament as an amateur with a zero.Four handicap. He might probable be even better had he been able to play extra over the previous couple of years.
But whilst he turned into still quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, he changed into criticized by Cowboy fanatics whilst he attempted to qualify for the USA Open. They said he wasn't running tough sufficient at being a QB, so Romo throttled back his golfing until his soccer career became over. Now he's loose to pursue his golfing goals.
While many don't think he's very good, the fact is that Romo has played very well this year. He missed the cut in his PGA Tour debut at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship, but posted a nine-shot win at an amateur event in Wisconsin and won the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, which many consider to be the Super Bowl of celebrity golf.
It's true that Romo made it through to First Stage on a bit of a technicality. He finished the three rounds at +2, which would have missed it by a stroke. But there was a DQ among those who did make it, and Romo was the beneficiary. Nevertheless, he's played well enough this year that this can't be considered a fluke.
You can read more about Romo's finish in this pgatour.com article and in this golfdigest.com article. But regardless of whether you think he's good enough to play the tour or not, the fact remains that this 38-year-old is proving to have some serious game. Give him a little time to adjust to the physical demands of the pro game, and the mental game he learned as a QB just may give him an edge against the big boys. I know I'll be following this story.
