Romo 5 back after 1st round of Safeway Open

Former NFL quarterback and current CBS analyst Tony Romo opened with a 2-under 70 on Thursday at the PGA Tour's Safeway Open in Napa, California.

He is tied for 28th after the first round, five shots back of leaders Adam Scott and Andrew Landry, who shot 7-under 65.

Romo, who is playing on a sponsor exemption, birdied his last two holes and beat his two playing partners, Beau Hossler (74) and Michael Gellerman (76). Romo had five birdies on the day.

"It's just the first quarter," the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback said.
