“I was hitting the ball really well this week,” Romo said after his round. “Distance control was good, being able to shape it towards the flag. That has been coming on lately. Hopefully I can keep that up and keep playing good golf.”
Another fun storyline from Lake Tahoe was the wager between two-time MVP and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and his father, Dell, who also played in the NBA: Loser sings a karaoke song of the winner’s choosing.

“As long as there is a ball or game involved we are competing,” Dell said of the wager. Stephen finished T-7 with Jeremy Roenick, meaning Dell, who finished T-15 with 40 points, will have to do some singing.
“Just trying to embarrass the other person as much as possible so, picking the song and venue is a good wager for sure.” said Stephen.
