Optimistic Romo 'coming on' after 74, missed cut

DALLAS -- It was difficult to miss Tony Romo's enthusiasm in his first words as he walked to the scoring tent after his second-round 74 at the AT&T Byron Nelson on Friday.

"I think we've got a chance," Romo said.

Romo's 74 left him at 8-over for the tournament and well off the cut line to play the weekend in a PGA Tour event for the first time, but the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback shot his best round in his third sponsor's exemption over the last two years.

"I think more than anything, I got a sense to be able to hit a lot of high-quality shots under what is a pressure situation for me," Romo said.
