At least 32 Titleist players at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans donned maroon and orange Titleist golf hats with the Virginia Tech logo on the side to remember the shooting rampage that occurred on the Blacksburg, Va., campus last Monday.

Several other players and caddies wore Virginia Tech hats during the tournament.

Johnson Wagner and Brendon De Jonge, former golf team members at Virginia Tech and roommates from 2000 to 2002, asked at the beginning of the week if they could wear Hokies hats instead of the Titleist caps they normally wear.

"We approached Mike Chisum, the Titleist rep, and I just asked if he wouldn't mind getting us some orange hats. He said, 'You know what, I'll see if I can't do one better than that,'" De Jonge said.

"I came out and looked in my locker the next day and I had six of these orange and maroon hats. I think he put one in all the Titleist guys' lockers. It's awesome, I think it's wonderful, it's what the PGA Tour is all about. In some way or form it affects everybody because it could have happened anywhere."

Eventual winner Nick Watney, who went to college across the country at Fresno State, was one of the Titleist players who wore the hat.

"If it helps even one person, then it's worth it for us," Watney said. "Hopefully we can do a little bit to help ease the pain that they're feeling up there."
