Texas Tech cheerleader Aaliyah Kikumoto has made the most of her viral fame ever since she found herself in the social media spotlight during the final round of the Masters earlier this month.
Kikumoto recently took a modeling job with BSX and gained thousands more followers across her Instagram and TikTok accounts due to her virality. She also showed that she could do more than just gymnastic moves on the court or soccer field by showing off her golf swing.

She posted a video Monday from a driving range. It was not clear if the video was from TopGolf, Drive Shack or one comparable to the two. The Texas Tech Pom Squad member proved that she can drive the ball pretty far and even surprised some of her new fans.
“I’m very (sic) surprised. Thought you just went to watch. You really CAN play. That swing is fundamentally something any coach would be happy to work with,” wrote one person.
Another person responded, “That’s one hell of a backswing.”

A third wrote: “Now we’re talking. That’s a great swing. How’s your short game maestro girl?”

Kikumoto went viral for his excitement as he stood behind jon rahm and Brooks Koepka as they battled for the green jacket in the final round on Sunday. She revealed herself to be the fan standing in the gallery just inches behind Koepka and Rahm. She went viral on TikTok during the round when the Double Bogeys Only page posted about her.
“Somehow I feel in love with someone I only saw for 15 seconds,” the video’s caption read.
Fans quickly identified the woman as Kikumoto. She also wrote in the comments section, “That’s me.”

When he’s not smashing golf balls, Kikumoto is part of the Texas Tech Pom Squad. The dance team is made up of trained dancers whose styles consist of “pm, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary lyrical,” according to the team’s website. Alumni of the team have gone on to dance for the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Houston Texan, New York Jets, and Kansas City Chiefs.
