Tony Romo’s first PGA Tour event starts well, ends horribly

Tony Romo is playing in his first ever PGA Tour event this week at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship in the Dominican Republic. The event is an opposite field event against the WGC Match Play in Austin, but it’s still a Tour event with ridiculously good golfers participating. Romo is getting a taste of exactly how difficult it is to play on the PGA Tour.

Romo opened his front nine with back-to-back bogies, but on the fourth and fifth holes he got those strokes back with back-to-back birdies. After adding another of each on the front nine he finished at even par.

He was even walking in putts.

Romo continued his good play with three straight pars to open the back nine before dropping a shot on the par-4 13th hole and then two more with a double-bogey on the par-5 14th.

Welcome back to Earth, Tony. Golf is hard.

Romo bogied 15 and added another on 16 to drop to +5. He finished just two strokes out of dead last at the completion of his round.
