Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo played in a U.S. Open qualifying event Wednesday in Dallas, Texas and finished nine over par - just missing the cut.

"I hadn't played golf in a week or so," Romo explained in a clip played on ESPN. "I played nine holes last week, and tried to get in game shape, but obviously that wasn't enough it comes and goes."

Romo continued, "Well, I didn't make the next round. You come out here and try to advance. I found a good rhythm on back side, but it just took too long to get started. I just haven't been able to practice or prepare. I got a lot of football stuff. So that's part of it."

Another possible distraction? Girlfriend Jessica Simpson. Simpson gushed in the June issue of Glamour magazine, that she is "in love" with Romo, whom she says helped her gain more confidence. "Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable (being myself) again," she adds. (See her lick cake off Romo's face here.)
