Hall of Fame quarterback and current General Manager and Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway failed to qualify for the 2018 U.S. Senior Open on Monday.
Playing on the East Course at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs
Christian Kirk Color Rush Jersey , Elway shot a 10-over 80 on the 7,256-yard layout.
“I haven’t been playing very well. I haven’t been playing much, either,” Elway said, via Arnie Stapleton of the Associated Press. “But it was fun to be out here and compete. It’s a lot of work in that rough.”
Only two players qualified for the event from the tournament. Doug Rohrbaugh shot a 1-under 69 and Chris Johnson fired a 2-over 72 to earn their spot in the event, which will be held on the same course June 28-July 1.
Elway is serving as the honorary chairman of the event and was hoping to defy the odds to earn his way into the field as a competitor. Instead he will be watching from outside the ropes when the tournament takes place next month.
Elway was just 2-over through his first eight holes before making a double bogey on the 533-yard ninth hole. Additional bogeys followed on the 10th
Andrew Shaw Jersey , 12th, 14th and 15th before a 75-minute weather delay halted his round. He bogeyed two of his final three holes as well to finish 10-over and tied for 18th.
Fox News apologized on Tuesday for showing photos of Philadelphia Eagles players kneeling in prayer – not in protest – during a story about President Trump canceling a White House ceremony honoring the team for its Super Bowl victory.
The 33-second report aired late Monday with four still pictures of the Eagles shown in the background of Shannon Bream’s narration. She said that the cancellation was due to ”the national anthem controversy,” where some NFL players knelt during the ”The Star-Spangled Banner” last season to protest police brutality.
”To clarify, no members of the team knelt in protest during the national anthem throughout the regular or postseason last year,” said Christopher Wallace, executive producer of the 11 p.m. Eastern program where the report aired Monday. ”We apologize for the error.”
Fox tweeted a copy of Wallace’s apology on its news account Tuesday and said the error would be addressed on the television show.
President Donald Trump abruptly canceled the ceremony planned to celebrate the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory after it became clear that the majority of players would not attend
Radek Faksa Jersey , renewing controversy over players taking a knee.
Eagles player Zach Ertz, who was in two of the pictures used by Fox during the segment, tweeted ”this can’t be serious.”
”Praying before games with my teammates well before the anthem is being used for your propaganda?” Ertz tweeted. ”Just sad. I feel like you guys should have to be better than this.”
The two pictures with Ertz, one that also included teammate Corey Clement, were taken by The Associated Press. Both knelt at the goal line, heads down. The AP’s photo caption said nothing about prayer or protest. In one picture

A third picture used in the segment, also taken by the AP, depicted Eagles players Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod and Chris Long standing during the anthem before an Oct. 8 game last year. Long held his right hand over his heart, while Jenkins and McLeod raised their right arms in a clenched-fist salute.
Long tweeted on Tuesday that ”Fox News used the faith of Christian men dishonestly to push an agenda. That wasn’t an `error
Youth J'Mon Moore Jersey ,’ but intentional and strategic.”
”You’re complicit in PLAYING America,” Long wrote. ”This is just another day at the office for you, though.”
Long also wrote that most players who decided not to visit the White House on Tuesday had decided long before the NFL issued a new edict last month that players in the future would be fined if they knelt during the playing of the national anthem.
Fox News would not discuss how the error was made or whether anyone would face disciplinary action. Fox, which deleted online video copies of the error, made the correction swiftly. They’ve been criticized in the past for being reluctant to correct misstatements promptly.
