Tony Romo misses the cut in the U.S. Open qualifying event

"I hadn't played golf in a week or so," Romo explained in a clip played on ESPN. "I played nine holes last week, and tried to get in game shape, but obviously that wasn't enough it comes and goes."

"Well, I didn't make the next round. You come out here and try to advance. I found a good rhythm on back side, but it just took too long to get started. I just haven't been able to practice or prepare. I got a lot of football stuff. So that's part of it."
