Romo Wins Cox Celebrity Championship

Another weekend, another victory on the links for Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo.

Romo won the Cox Celebrity Championship golf tournament this weekend, an event hosted by Romo’s New Orleans counterpart and native Texan, Drew Brees, in San Diego, California.

Romo shot a one-under 70 on Saturday and a four-under 67 on Sunday to finish two strokes ahead of former NHL player Dan Quinn for the victory. According to SanDiego.com, Romo donated his $25,000 purse to the Brees Dream Foundation.

Afterward, he was full of praise for Brees’ involvement in the event.

"The number of fans and the amount of support for this tournament are each a testament to Drew Brees," said Romo, per the Dallas Morning News. "It's a great tournament and I feel lucky to be a part of it."
