In case you missed it, the college football season started over the weekend with “Week 0,” highlighted by Georgia Tech’s 24-21 upset of Florida State in Ireland. Of course, if you’re a fan of the (formerly) 10th-ranked Seminoles, it wasn’t quite a highlight.
At this week’s Tour Championship in Atlanta, there will be plenty of G-Tech fans still riding high. But there’s also one PGA Tour player who was particularly happy about the result.

That would be eight-time winner and University of Florida alum Billy Horschel, who was so pleased by the result that he honored the Yellow Jackets with his Tuesday practice-round outfit at East Lake:

Now that’s taking Florida fandom—and trolling your rival team—to a whole new level. And we respect it.
One person, probably an FSU fan, tried to clap back at Billy, but he didn’t let it spoil his mood. He’s still on a high from those FSU tears.
I think comparing golf games and wins is the wrong path for you to go down. But hey, you do you. 😂😂😁 https://t.co/mMBHlEvtNw

Anyway, the move certainly can’t hurt Horschel, the 2014 FedEx Cup champ, this week. At the very least, he should have the crowd on his side even more.
