A fan standing behind the No. 16 tee box captured the hearts of millions over the weekend at The Masters.
On Sunday, Jon Rahm won his first green jacket as he outlasted Brooks Koepka to win the 2023 Masters Tournament. He’s the fourth man from Spain to win the tournament, following in Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, and Sergio Garcia’s footsteps. It was his second major championship.
However, there was another person on this day that stole the show. During his final round, a fan on the No. 16 hole went viral.
The fan, standing behind the golfers on the 16th tee box, has been identified as Aaliyah Kikumoto, a dancer at Texas Tech.
Just weeks ago, she was present for the Houston Livestock Show and rodeo in her outfit.

Aside from the win, Rahm also got a huge boost in his wallet. He will take home around $3.24 million as the winner of the Masters. It’s the most that any Masters winner has ever won as the tournament’s champion. The total purse is $18 million.
Rahm has been on quite the streak as he has pulled out four victories since the calendar turned from 2022 to 2023. He won the Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express as well as the Genesis Invitational. He now sports a green jacket in his closet with a 12-under finish at Augusta National.
Next up on the major tournament schedule is the PGA Championship in May.
