Romo wins third American Century celebrity title
STATELINE, Nev. — Tony Romo won the American Century Championship for the third time, beating Mark Mulder and Joe Pavelski with a 5-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff Sunday.
Romo also birdied the par-5 18th in regulation to earn three points and match Mulder and Pavelski with 62 points at Edgewood Tahoe in the modified Stableford scoring system event.
Romo, the former Dallas quarterback and current NFL television analyst, also won at Edgewood Tahoe in 2018 and 2019.
“I had to keep patient,” Romo said. “Coming from behind is a great feeling. All the wins here are special, but this one was different because my boys are 10 and 8 years old and they were into it.”
Mulder won three straight times from 2015 to 2017.
Annika Sorenstam and Adam Thielen tied for fourth with 58 points.
