And there he was on a green at Pebble Beach, a stop on the western swing of the PGA tour, where trees are scarce, and where 37 under par should put you in the final foursome, and where some golfers are about 500 under, lifetime, on the par 5's, where a driver and a putter will put you where you need to be:

Tony Turnover sank a long birdie putt to put his pro-am team at 29 under par!

Tony Romo.

The one who fumbles and throws interceptions like few others.

The one who figures to retire with so much potential intact.

Tony Turnover is a scratch golfer. He has no handicap. He is as good as many professionals.

After sinking the long putt at Pebble, he did your basic fist pump and celebrated with his partner.

This brings up the question: Why would Tony Turnover playing world-class great golf upset anybody?

This is partly why: Cowboy fans are upset year-round. They're not scratch golfers. They're too depressed with their football team to get great at golf. They're best at being Cowboy fans, period. Their quarterback out there making birdies and laughing it up, sometimes the image just doesn't fit.

And there's this doomsday note: The better Tony Turnover is at golf, the worse he is at football.
