Romo previously advanced through pre-qualifying in 2018, recording a 2-over 218 at Lantana Golf Club in Argyle, Texas, to finish the number to qualify for the First Stage. He failed to advance in the First Round at the Garland, Texas site, carding a 13-over 297. Interestingly, he played the first two rounds that week with Scottie Scheffler, who has since climbed to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
