Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo withdrew from a US Open golf championship sectional qualifier Monday after weather delays pushed the event into conflict with his NFL team commitments.
Romo was one of 36 players vying for two US Open berths in the 36-hole sectional qualifier at The Club at Carlton Woods north of Houston.
He was four strokes off the lead after 18 holes, firing a one-under 71 in his first round.
The NFL star opened his second round with a quadruple bogey and had played three holes when poor weather halted play for the second time.
With the second round due to finish on Tuesday he withdrew because of Cowboys commitments.
Last month Romo passed up a chance to qualify for the Byron Nelson Championship on the US PGA Tour because it conflicted with the Cowboys organized team activities.
There was no conflict on Monday, but the Cowboys resume organized team activities on June 8-10, with a training minicamp scheduled for June 11-13.
