Sevens: Good in football; bad in golf.
Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo closed with a pair of 7s in the opening round of the Western Amateur and was tied for 147th out of the 156-man field.
Romo finished with a 9-over 80 at Skokie Country Club in Glencoe, Ill. He was 4 over through his first 12 holes, before back-to-back birdies on Nos. 13 and 14.
But following a bogey at the 16th, Romo finished triple bogey-triple bogey. He did, however, finish ahead of Tianlang Guan, the former 14-year-old who competed in the Masters.
