Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's came up short in his to qualify for the U.S. Open.
Romo failed to advance to June's major championship in New York after shooting a five-over-par 77 at Monday's local qualifying tournament in Plano, Texas.
Romo, a four-time Pro Bowl player who retired last year, has turned his attention to golf, though the 38-year-old's PGA Tour debut saw him finish last at last month's Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship.
Romo — among 132 participants on Monday — did not fare much better as he bowed out on the first day of qualifying at Gleneagles Country Club.
The top-eight finishers advance to the 36-hole sectional qualifying event on June 4.
It marked the second consecutive year Romo — who reached the stage in 2010 — fell at the local stage of U.S. Open qualifying, having shot a 75 during his qualifier in Aledo, Texas.
