During the Texas Tech vs. Houston men's basketball game on Monday night, there was a special guest in attendance, former Red Raiders quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and amid a break in the action he was able to witness a fan sink a 94-foot putt.

That is, upon the student making the full-court shot, the 3x Super Bowl winning QB celebrated with the kid, as the rest of the crowd erupted.
For those wondering, the prize for doing all of that was a pair of AirPods Pro headphones, which may have been a bit underwhelming considering the celebrations.
Nevertheless, in a moment he will never forget, this fan got to share a special moment with Mahomes, as they rushed over to each other, and collided for a mid-air celebration.

Notably, this was one of the first times the Chiefs quarterback made a public appearance following the 40-22 heartbreaking loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
The two-time MVP Mahomes received a standing ovation from his Alma mater upon being recognized at United Supermarkets Arena.
Unfortunately, No. 10 Texas Tech fell to No. 4 Houston 69-61.
All in all, Mahomes has maintained a great relationship with the school, as he even made a $5 million donation to the football program.
