Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam title winner, was overwhelmed to play golf in a fully packed arena. His 260-yard shot on the fourth hole was a major highlight of the All-Star match. Speaking of that, the tennis ace was quoted as saying by Eurosport:

"This is sporting greatness. I was going to play safe but the crowd made me do it. It was one of the best shots I've ever hit. I've never played golf in front of this many people, so considering my level I think I've played quite well."
