In a crowd of over 20,000 that cheered wholeheartedly were Brooks Koepka and Floyd Mayweather, seated at courtside. The PGA Tour star’s presence at the game did not go unnoticed, his photos garnering attention online.

Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski) was particularly glad to see Koepka, who seemed excited to meet him and the team. Let’s take a look at what the coach had to say at the game, which Duke won with an 84-81 score.

Everyone even posed for photos in the video, which were also shared by the official account later on.

Koepka also met the team, which was another celebration in itself.

“What’s going on boys,” Koepka asked when he entered, later praising their game while letting them know it was really fun to watch. Everyone even introduced themselves to Koepka, and 20-year-old Jeremy Roach even asked him if he could teach him to swing. The four-time major winner joked around, telling them that he himself has to figure it out first.

Koepka himself reacted on Twitter.

“Best way to top the day with Coach K,” he wrote, adding goat emoji in the end.

Fans were filled with joy

Fans also seemed to love the interaction. Many were happy to see one of their favorite golfers with a coaching legend, who has led Duke to five NCAA Division one championship.
