What was strange was the photo attached: accompanying the headline &#8220;Cowboys QB Romo Shoots 72, Misses Advancing To Sectionals By 4 Shots&#8221; is a picture of Tommy Maddox, former QB of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers and Cowboys are, well, less than amorous, and the USGA&#8217;s choice of lead photo must be a conscious decision due to the location of this year&#8217;s U.S. Open (Oakmont is just outside of Pittsburgh).<\/p>\n<p>The story later mentions Maddox, who also attempted to qualify (and failed), but the main topic is Tony Romo. The USGA may be relatively new to the latest in technology, but it seems common sense to me that your lead image should match your headline, no? I can&#8217;t really complain much, though: I&#8217;m a Steelers fan.<\/p>\n<p>A full image of the front page of www.usopen.com as of publication is available <a href=\"\/imgs\/tvmedia\/usopen_site_tony_romo.jpg\" title=\"Tony Romo Mixup\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are people on the USGA web team part of The Steeler Nation or do they just dislike the Cowboys?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tap-ins"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Heads Up to USGA: Steelers aren&#039;t Cowboys (Tap-Ins) - The Sand Trap .com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/b\/tap-ins\/heads_up_to_usga_steelers_arent_cowboys\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Heads Up to USGA: Steelers aren&#039;t Cowboys (Tap-Ins) - The Sand Trap .com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Are people on the USGA web team part of The Steeler Nation or do they just dislike the Cowboys?\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/b\/imgs\/tvmedia\/usopen_site_tony_romo_closeup.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@the_sand_trap\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@the_sand_trap\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Erik J.
