A Texas Tech cheerleader, Aaliyah Kikumoto, went viral on TikTok while attending the 87th Masters with her father. A TikTok account posted a video of her in the background of Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka at the 16th tee box at the Augusta National, giving her around 15 seconds of screentime.

Capturing that moment, a TikTok account posted that moment on the app with the caption, “This made the Masters 10 times better.” The TikTok account, Double Bogeys, crossed over 2.8 million views over the Masters weekend following this video.

Following this incident, Kikumoto now has 47.4k followers on Instagram and has also landed a modeling job. She says, “It’s something I wanted at some point to grow my brand and be a positive influence for good. While all this is unfolding I’m still trying to do homework, study for exams, Pom commitments, and other things.”

The video has crossed over 6.2 million views and currently stands with 372k likes which is ever-increasing. As much as the Masters 2023 was a treat for the fans, so was this viral moment for several young men who have been gushing over Aaliyah Kikumoto’s brief 15-second accidental cameo.
