With the Ohio State band playing in the gallery, Eli Manning finished his round of the pro-am with a putt for par on No. 18 and a fist pump to the crowd that gathered largely for a glimpse of the former NFL quarterback — or, if they were lucky, a hello and an autograph.
Manning chuckled when asked if he’d ever finished a round of golf with a band alongside.
“I haven’t, but I like it,” Manning said. “I think I need to get a traveling band to come with me every time I play golf. It helps me make some downhill sliders.”
