SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice set another record Thursday, although this wasn't one he'd hoped for at the BMW Charity Pro-Am.

Rice shot a 92, the highest score ever since this Nationwide Tour event began in South Carolina's Upstate in 1992.

Rice talked before the tournament of buying Cristal for everyone if he reached his goal and made the cut. He saw those hopes doused early when he couldn't avoid the water at The Carolina Country Club.

He put three shots into the water on the par-4 second hole for a 10. Things never improved from there. His 20-over finish was two shots worse than the 90 put up by Shawn McCaughley in 2006 at The Cliffs Valley Course.

I would not have thought it possible to hook a ball that much.

CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is a step closer to competing in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

Romo was among seven golfers who moved on to the sectional round following a round at The Honors Club of Dallas. Romo shot a 2-under 69, which put him in a four-man playoff for three spots.

Romo advances to a 36-hole qualifier June 7 at The Woodlands. If he's among the top finishers there, he would have a spot in the season's second major tournament June 17-20 at Pebble Beach.

Last week, Romo advanced to the Monday qualifier for the HP Byron Nelson Championship, but had to drop out because it conflicted with a Cowboys workout. The first round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship was Thursday.

There's no Cowboys conflict June 7.
