Summary
Romo was disqualified from a Korn Ferry Tour pre-qualifier in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, after signing an incorrect third-round scorecard rather than finishing out his bid to advance.
Three versions of his score emerged: Romo signed for 4s on holes 16 and 17, marker Brandon Rice had a 4 and 5, and a walking referee recalled 5s on both holes.
The former Cowboys quarterback had opened with rounds of 76 and 75 and sat 13 strokes behind the leaders after 36 holes, still within reach of the next Q-School stage before the disqualification.
Administrator Rob Keller told Golf.com he believed slow play, poor scoring and outside distractions contributed, adding that Romo accepted responsibility when they spoke.
The setback landed the same day Romo and CBS reportedly agreed to part ways, extending a difficult stretch after his summer OWI arrest in Wisconsin.
