A Cinderella Story Outta Nowhere


Be prepared golf fans. Actor/comedian Bill Murray is about to turn the Outback Pro-Am upside down.

Peter Jacobsen predicts there will be a lot of laughing when Murray hits the TPC of Tampa Bay course on Friday. Don’t be surprised if you see him diving into sand traps or invading the crowd during play.

“Bill is one of those unique individuals that is, what you see is what you get,” Jacobsen said. “He’s very bright. He can talk on numerous subjects. He’s also one of the funniest people.”

And one other thing - the man who made a name for himself in the cult classic “Caddyshack” can play golf.

“Bill puts on a pretty good act, [but] he is a good golfer,” Jacobsen said. “Don’t let anybody kid you. He has a great swing. He grew up as a golfer. He’s had a low as probably a 1 or 2 handicap. He probably plays to an 8 or 9 now but that’s because he’s more interested in running or jumping into a bunker, rather than making a 5-footer for par.”
