So, why does Rickie Fowler wear orange?

Rickie insists on wearing orange during the final day of a golf tournament — but why? Well, it's a nod to his days at Oklahoma State. He previously revealed he wore orange while in school as a way to stand out from the rest.

"Obviously, not many guys wear orange, so it was a way to be my own man out there," the golfer said. "A few of my Oklahoma State teammates wore the same colors, so, at the time, it was a bit of a bonding thing. But nobody really does that on Tour. I like to think of it as my own little personal style."
