PLANO, Texas (AP) Tony Romo didn’t get out of the opening stage in another failed attempt to play in the U.S. Open.

Romo three-putted his opening hole at Gleneagles Country Club, made only two birdies and shot a 5-over 77 on Monday in the 18-hole local qualifier. The top eight finishers from Gleneagles advance to 36-hole sectional qualifying on June 4.

Romo, the retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback and NFL analyst for CBS Sports, failed to get through local qualifying for the second straight year.

He was tied for 24th among the first half of the field, meaning he would miss advancing by at least five shots.

Romo played his first PGA Tour event in March in the Dominican Republic and had rounds of 77-82, missing the cut.

Although we certainly don't advocate bandwagon jumping, there's a good chance your favorite NBA team is done for the season. (And we're including Jazz and Pelicans fans in this group, because no chance you guys are stopping a Warriors-Rockets conference finals showdown.) As such, you may be looking to latch your rooting interests to one of the remaining clubs. Out of those remaining eight six, it's hard not to be dazzled by the Philadelphia 76ers. Ben Simmons is the second coming of Magic Johnson, Joel Embiid is as disruptive down low as he is on Twitter, the owner helped free Meek Mill, the team's practice facility has a four-point line and they ring a sweet Liberty Bell knockoff before tip-off. Save for Kevin Hart trying to insert himself into the proceedings, what's not to love?
But, in case you needed one extra push, here's Will Smith dropping a totally unnecessary but ridiculously stimulating hype video on Monday afternoon:

Andrew RedingtonIt’s been a rough spring for golfers in the northeast and courses have been hit hard. At some facilities—even some private clubs—it’s not unusual for members to pitch in and help clean up the course in order to get it ready for the opening of the season.
Rutland Country Club in Vermont is one such club, and it had its Member Clean-Up Day on April 14th. Nothing unusual about that. However the notice on the club’s website was truly one to behold. In addition to imploring its members to bring their rake and gloves, along with a modest scolding to not play on the course, the notice closed with a sentence full of irony.
FacebookPinterestThat’s because after asking its members to work for free (and, as dues-paying members, in some way actually pay for the privilege of working), the club felt compelled to finish with the following: “Remember, you MUST be current with your dues!” We’re sure whoever’s idea it was to end this memo in such fashion might expect a call from the club..

Eddy Chen (Eddy Chen/ABC via Getty Images)BEN AFFLECK, MATT DAMONIn the canon of bromance movies, “Good Will Hunting” is a universally-loved entry, right there with “The Sandlot,” “Brian's Song” and “Superbad.” A standing added by the real-life friendship of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and the remarkable odyssey in getting their script to the silver screen. But, if this accusation regarding the latter is true, everything we know about the movie—and for that matter, male friendship—is a lie.
According to Page Six, a 1962 MIT grad claims “Good Will Hunting” was his idea. Bernhard Cohen says he met producer Chris Moore at a bakery in New York's Upper West Side in the mid-90s and made his movie pitch about a math genius janitor, asking Moore if he knew of anyone who could help complete his idea. Moore, a former classmate of Damon's who served as co-producer on “Good Will Hunting,” allegedly brought Damon to meet Moore a few days later.

A few things to consider regarding your golf bag before you sling it on the shoulder and start hoofing it.

When life gives you lemons, sell them and rent a crane. Or so goes the guiding mantra of one Turkish soccer fan, who, after being handed a 12-month stadium ban by his beloved Denizlispor FC, did what any self-respecting die-hard would: He rented a crane so he could watch his team's crucial relegation battle against Gaziantepspor from his own personal, semi-legal skybox.

Now we want to be careful about calling this man a hero. You have to be a pretty big asshole to get banned from your home stadium for a year and for all we know he was spewing vile racist garbage or taping tiny mirrors to the tips of his shoes. BUT, in the absence of any such allegations, we have to admit this the boss move of all boss moves. Police were soon on hand to remove the man from his angelic perch, but clearly his never-say-die at..

Spending your money on golf intelligently this spring.

Think of your sports' most terrifying theater—the big one at Talladega, an unblocked Lawerence Taylor, Jake Brown dropping from the damn sky. That's what Nazare is to surfing. A holy ground of trial and tempest, each year big wave surfers from around the globe gather at the Portuguese hot bed to risk life and limb in pursuit of death, demons, or, most likely, some combination of the two.
If that sounds dramatic, that's because careening down an 80-foot, ship-killing water-scraper on what essentially amounts to a toothpick is, in fact, pretty dramatic. But don't take our word for it. You won't find us within 100 yards of the Nazare breakers. Just ask Rodrigo Koxa, who laid claim to the largest wave ever surfed in the history of humankind when the footage of his November descent premiered at the World Surf League Big Wave Awards this weekend:
What you see here is a Brazilian maniac dropping into the tsunami-manifestation of Davy Jones's locker, and somehow l..

Tim BradburyI've gushed about the Sixers on this site before, at length, and I'm not sure how much more my editor would tolerate, so let me sum up in one sentence: Label-defying, possibly historical point guard, excellent and hilarious big man, quirky Europeans, J.J. Redick in his “fully cool” second stage of life, unlikely genius coach who started in Melbourne, and famous, crooked path to being actually good. They're the best. And in the second round of the NBA playoffs, starting Monday night, they're going to meet…
The Boston Celtics.
(Cue Star Wars “Imperial March” music.)
Whether or not you agree that all things related to Boston sports are inherently evil (note: they are), here are seven reasons to specifically hate the 2018 version of the Celtics.
