Tony Romo's bid to play in this year's U.S. Open came to a close on the very first day of qualification.The former quarterback was among 132 participants at a local qualifier in Plano, Texas, one of two qualifiers held Monday as the USGA kicked off the journey to Shinnecock Hills for 9,049 applicants. But a 5-over 77 left Romo well short of qualifying on a day when scores ranged from 66 to 91 and only the top eight players advanced to sectionals.Romo made it to sectional qualifying in 2010, but this marks the second straight year he has bowed out at the local stage. Last year he shot a 75 in a qualifier in Aledo, Texas, and this time he was two shots higher after a round that included two birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey as documented by Dallas reporter Mike Leslie:
