Peyton Manning is a Hall of Fame quarterback and beloved in the Mile High City for bringing a Super Bowl to the Denver Broncos late in his career.

He loves his golf, including an ownership stake in Sweetens Cove in Tennessee, has been a regular participant in the pro-am at the Memorial, and previously played in The Match so he’s been there, done that when it comes to teeing off in front of crowds before.

Still, even the greats of the game in other sports get first-tee jitters. On Wednesday, Manning competed in the BMW Championship pro-am and was paired with 2023 U.S. Open winner and Denver native Wyndham Clark for the first nine and Canadian Adam Hadwin for the back nine at Castle Pines Golf Club.

It didn’t go well for Manning. He topped his opening tee shot, which led to the crowd to chant, “One of us, one of us!!!”

Manning played it off as well as he could giving a feint wave and a sheepish grin, but you know that had to hurt worse than a pancake sack.
