We all know that Bill Murray and Jack Lemon have left large footprints in the entertainment industry. Both actors have enjoyed huge commercial success in comedy movies and playing serious roles.
Both men were serious golfers with a deep love for the game. Each of them loved playing the tournament at Pebble Beach. Some might recall it when the tournament was called the Crosby after Bing Crosby. Seems when the contract expired Mrs Crosby thought Bing's name would pay her more than the tournament was willing. But that's another story.
Over the years Lemmon had what many would consider great success at Pebble Beach and finished high in the Pro Am rankings as the amateur. However he was always close but no cigar. Lemmon made it a life time goal to be on the winning team just once in his life. he did not make it.
Bill Murray has succeeded where Lemmon didn't. Murray and pro golfer D. A. Points won the AT&T Pro Am at Pebble Beach this last weekend. It was Murray's and Points a tour veteran, first PGA win. I think this has to be one of the top Cinderella sports stories of 2011.
I dont know about you but I do love the Cinderella stories. Congrats to Bill Murray and D.A. Points.
