Former NFL star Tony Romo suffered an early exit in his latest PGA Tour appearance as he missed the cut at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship.
The ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback, a sponsor's invite, followed an opening-round 79 with an eight-over 80 in the Dominican Republic to finish 17 shots below the cut line.
Sungjae Im holds a one-shot lead at the halfway stage over a group of three players that includes Ireland's Paul Dunne, while Graeme McDowell moved within three of the lead after a bogey-free 64.
"My iron play wasn't good enough and [the double bogey] made sure that I had something to work on this morning before I went on the golf course," McDowell said.
"So I was able to just focus on fixing that left shot that I had. I hit it several times yesterday and it got me in trouble of couple of times. I kind of needed a rescue today."
Im, looking for a win to move inside the world's top 50 and secure an invite to the Masters, posted four birdies in a five-hole stretch on his way to a second successive 67.
Dunne is joined in a share of second by Australia's Aaron Baddeley and the American pair of Jonathan Byrd and George McNeill.
