Peyton Manning hit a house with his tee shot, and Scottie Scheffler couldn't stop from laughing
Peyton Manning has endeared himself to fans across sports and pop culture with his willingness to make fun of himself and not take himself too seriously. But the Hall of Fame quarterback also shows his fallibility in unscripted moments, as demonstrated by a tee shot he took while playing in the Memorial Tournament pro-am in Dublin, Ohio. Anyone would probably look bad while paired with Scottie Scheffler, ranked No. 1 in the world and the recent PGA Championship winner. Even someone who's won two Super Bowl championships and five NFL MVP awards. Advertisement Playing with Scheffler on Wednesday, Manning showed that he's probably still very good at football but maybe not so much at golf. Or perhaps he was intimidated by the two-time Masters champion standing behind him as he teed off. Regardless of the reason, Manning knew immediately after swinging that his shot was in trouble, yelling "fore" a couple of times before we hear why he was justifiably concerned. The next sound heard on the video recorded is of Manning's ball hitting a house — loudly. Maybe it was the siding of the house that made such a resonant sound, but it sounded as if something had exploded. Without knowing exactly what the result was, it was enough to make Scheffler bend over in laughter. He acknowledged the huge noise by saying, "Good morning, sir," then added, "That's too much." Advertisement Maybe Scheffler just knew that Manning was embarrassed by hitting a house. Try to avoid hitting that rather large structure to the side of the fairway. Or perhaps Manning did actually cause some notable damage, which is why he began slowly stepping backward, as if he was Homer Simpson backing into the bushes in that famous meme. No word on whether any of the other celebrities playing in the pro-am — including Steph Curry, Nick Saban, Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Day and Luke Bryan — also launched golf balls into nearby houses. Or perhaps they just didn't have anyone nearby recording video when they teed off. Advertisement Yet it may not have been nearly as funny if those guys had shanked an embarrassing shot, especially without the best golfer in the world in the background laughing at the result. None of those celebrities probably would have been taunted by their younger brothers on social media. Eli Manning wasn't going to let such an opportunity go by without comment. "I'm so proud," Eli said, likely echoing the sentiments of many who watched that video. TNT has not scheduled a 2025 edition of "The Match," but Manning and Scheffler created an excellent preview for the exhibition if organizers decide to move forward with an event.

Scottie Scheffler couldn't contain himself after Peyton Manning's tee shot struck house
Peyton Manning wasn't always this inaccurate. During Workday's Golden Bear Pro-Am event during the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio, the NFL legend's tee shot on the first hole veered way off course — so off course that Manning's ball struck a nearby house. Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer according to the PGA rankings, witnessed the ordeal and couldn't contain his laughter as a result of the incident. Advertisement In the video, Manning is seen shouting 'Fore!' multiple times before the ball makes contact with the house with a loud bang, prompting Scheffler to keel over in laughter. Scheffler was heard saying, 'Good morning, sir,' as Manning backed up from the tee, laughing at his dubious swing. Advertisement Scheffler, 28, placed fourth overall in The Masters in April and ended up winning his third major championship title after shooting 11-under at the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club earlier this month.

Taylor, Griffin share lead at PGA Tour's Memorial Tournament
Canadian Nick Taylor plays a shot on the way to a share of the 36-hole lead in the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio (ANDY LYONS) Nick Taylor conjured four birdies without a bogey in a four-under-par 68 on Friday to pull into a tie for the lead with Ben Griffin in the US PGA Tour's Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. Taylor, who claimed his fifth PGA title at the Sony Open this year, navigated rain-soaked Muirfield Village with little real trouble on the way to a 36-hole total of seven-under par 137. Advertisement "The iron game was very, very sharp," Taylor said. "Putting, made bunch of nice five-, six-footers on that back nine for par." Overnight leader Griffin, coming off his second win of the season at Colonial last week, had one bogey and one birdie in an even-par 71 to maintain a share of the lead. The leading duo were two strokes in front of American Akshay Bhatia, who carded a 69, with world number one Scottie Scheffler three adrift after his second straight 70 for 140. "I think everyone would probably say it was kind of a grind," Griffin said. "Fortunately, having a later tee time, I didn't have to battle the elements quite as much as some of the early groups. Advertisement "But a day like today when it's really wet, I think hitting it in the rough is just even more penal. The ball just kind of goes straight to the bottom with the moisture, and then when there's moisture, it's harder to get to the ball down in the rough. So I had some very tricky lies. "I got some good breaks on a couple holes where I was in the rough and was able to get it up to the green. So all in all, coming off of yesterday where I made just about everything I looked at, you can't do that every day when you're playing golf." Taylor coped admirably, getting things moving with a 24-foot birdie put at the fourth hole. He added a two-foot birdie at the eighth and rolled in a 20-foot at the ninth. He grabbed his final birdie at the 13th. Advertisement - 'Solid' Scheffler - "The nice thing was for most of the day my speed was very good, so it was a lot of tap-in pars if I wasn't making birdie," he said. "It was nice to keep it as simple as possible." Bhatia put himself in contention in the signature event hosted by Jack Nicklaus with five birdies. "I felt like this was the best my iron play has been, ever," Bhatia said. "I mean, I hit two flagsticks today and then felt like pretty much anytime where my caddie told me to hit it, I was literally hitting it there. "So that was really nice." Scheffler called his two-under effort a "solid day" despite a double bogey at the 10th. Advertisement "I had some good looks on the front nine that I didn't hole, but on the back I rolled it really nice," Scheffler said. After his double bogey at the 10th -- where he was in the rough off the tee and finally three-putted from 43 feet -- Scheffler responded with birdies at the 11th and 12th. He finished the day alone in fourth, one stroke in front of Sam Burns, Shane Lowry and Jordan Spieth. Burns climbed the leaderboard with an impressive seven-under par 65, while Ireland's Lowry posted an even par 72 and Spieth carded a 69. bb/rcw
