[Doomsday101]

Tony Romo has officially traded in his Dallas Cowboys helmet for a bag of golf clubs.

Reporter Ed Werder tweeted Wednesday the retired quarterback will attempt to qualify for the 2017 U.S. Open. Romo is set to play in a local qualifier tournament Monday in Aledo, Texas.

Marc Lancaster of Omnisport (h/t Sporting News) noted Romo has been "long renowned" for his ability on the golf course and is included in the USGA's database of entrants. In fact, he attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Dude didn't restart playing until early this year, so this would be an major uphill battle.
good luck anyway.

I was a D1 college golfer many many years ago and have tried qualifying some 28 or 29 times over the years. Got close but never made it all the way.

Good luck Tony!

I wish him luck, and I hope he qualifies!

I thought we were through with Ved Turder.

I qualify every time I hit the driving range.......Things go down hill after that.

Romo could get by the first round qualifier but after that, don't see him qualifying. any further, it's a tough uphill battle...
