Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is considered an extreme long shot to win the AT&T Byron Nelson, but that isn't stopping bettors from backing him.

Jeff Sherman, vice president of risk management at the Westgate SuperBook, told Action Network's Jason Sobel that they've taken 10 bets, including two at $100 each, for Romo to win the tournament at 10,000-1 odds.

This will be the third PGA Tour start for Romo, who admitted he'll be nervous when the tournament gets underway Thursday at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas.

"I think that's part of anything that's important to you," Romo told Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News on Monday. "And then from there, it'll calm down a little bit, each shot and each hole. I've just got to get off to a good start and see what happens."
