Tony Romo teams with 6'10 junior to qualify for first USGA championship

Tony Romo has qualified for his first USGA Championship.

Partnering with 17-year-old Texas commit Tommy Morrison, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback punched his ticket to next year’s U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship, which will be held May 20-24 at Kiawah’s Ocean Course.

Romo and Morrison shot a best-ball, 9-under 63 to earn one of two qualifying spots out of the Winter Creek Golf Club qualifier on Monday in Blanchard, Oklahoma.

While Morrison, who stands 6 feet, 10 inches, is one of the top juniors in the Class of 2023, Romo carried the team with eight birdies and a 6-under 66.
