Tony Romo Struggles on Back 9, Shoots 5-Over Par in 1st PGA Tour Round

Former NFL star Tony Romo held his own during his first career round in the PGA Tour.

Romo finished five strokes over par with a score of 77 Thursday in the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in the Dominican Republic. He tallied an even par on the front nine, but three bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine hurt his overall score.

He now sits in a tie for 127th place out of 132 players, 14 strokes off the lead, per PGATour.com. Despite his struggles, he still had three birdies while averaging a respectable 288 yards per drive.
