Tony Romo makes his USGA championship debut on Saturday in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, and like much of his NFL days, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s blind side will be well protected.
At 6 feet, 9 inches tall, Tommy Morrison, Romo’s partner for this week’s U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship, could be mistaken for a left tackle. But the 18-year-old Texan is one of the top freshmen in the country having recently helped the Longhorns through last week’s NCAA regional round as the squad’s highest finisher.
Together, Romo and Morrison are one of 128 teams that will begin the week at Kiawah Island Club with hopes of winning Wednesday’s final match.
