Rickie Fowler approves of Cardinals affiliate's golf-inspired uniforms
The Memphis Redbirds are doing a little golf-themed cross-promotion, and one of the PGA's brightest stars is all for it.
The St. Louis Cardinals' AAA affiliate's players are wearing golf-inspired uniforms against the New Orleans Zephyrs on Friday night, and third baseman Patrick Wisdom thought Rickie Fowler would appreciate the orange attire.

Fowler wears orange on Sundays in honor of his alma mater, Oklahoma State.
