NFL legend John Elway shoots 80, fails to qualify for U.S. Senior Open-2
Elway acknowledged that
pulling double duty at the Open
next month was a pipe dream
but cherished his round
nonetheless. "I haven't been playing very
well. I haven't been playing
much, either," Elway said. "But
it was fun to be out here and
compete. It's a lot of work in
that rough." Elway remained upbeat even
after bogeying two of his last
three hles following a 75-minute
rain and lightning delay. "It's good for me to play in
these conditions," he reasoned.
"It makes me a better player." Elway started off strong but a
double-bogey on the ninth hole
sent him sliding down the
leaderboard, where only one
golfer broke par - Doug
Rohrbaugh, an instructor at Snowmass, Colorado, shot a 1-
under 69 to qualify for his fourth
Open. Rohrbaugh also has NFL
bloodlines: His uncle, John
Meyers, was a defensive tackle
for the Cowboys and Eagles in the 1960s.Source:Golf
