It’s not unusual to see Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden on enemy territory at Oklahoma’s Jimmie Austin golf course. And he doesn’t hesitate to wear school colors.
“I wear orange,” said Weeden, who often joins friends on OU’s home golf course. “I wear an OSU golf hat. They know who I am and I’ve played with most of the guys so they are pretty cool. They’re all older, more mature guys. The pro there is one of my good friends.”
An avid golfer and walk on member of the OSU golf squad, Weeden made former OSU standout Rickie Fowler his Masters pick.
“I’m going to take Rickie,” Weeden said last Friday. “If you think about it, it’s usually a guy who hasn’t won a tournament. I got the chance to play with Rickie two Fridays ago and the guy is unbelievable, he a little bitty guy and just pounds the golf ball. It’s stupid.”
Fowler was in the hunt at -2 after the first round at Augusta on Thursday.
