"I had a putt to make the cut, and just as I lined up over the putt, some guy in the stands says, 'You're Carl.'"
/Doug Ferguson on D.A. Points and Bill Murray winning at the AT&T Pro-Am, which also lead to the unthinkable: a Bill Murray press conference. (Check out Jeff Labreque's Entertainment Weekly look at just how difficult it is to get Murray talking on the record.)
On Points getting in the Masters.
Q. First of all, have you ever been to Augusta National and have you considered that this win gets you into the Masters?
D.A. POINTS: Yeah, I know, I asked earlier. I wasn't sure. Thanks.
Yeah, I played August Country Club, one of my good friends, John Engler (ph), but no, I've never played Augusta National.
Q. Your thoughts on that?
D.A. POINTS: I'm so excited.
BILL MURRAY: Really good food. The course is okay. But the food is unbelievable. (Laughter).
And the PGA Tour will probably want to bottle this for its charitable benefits campaigns...
Q. Do you have any thoughts on that, Bill from the amateur side?
BILL MURRAY: The way the PGA runs, it's a real juggernaut, it really is. It's an amazing thing. The players, obviously, they make some money. And they get to play wonderful golf courses. But somehow, it's an extraordinary I don't want to use the word symbiotic relationship between business and charity where it takes hundreds and hundreds of people, thousands of people maybe, to make this thing happen. And you wake up in the morning and if you're driving on the road and you go like, that's some explorer, kid, from 70 miles away who is directing traffic, why is he doing that? Well, because somehow some of this money gets funneled down to his charity and it's there. And the marshals that are working the road and the fairways, some of that money is going to their hospice, or their fire department somewhere else. Everyone is in it -- obviously it's a joyous experience to walk the course and to see the event and be part of the excitement and the energy of the crowd. But some of that money is coming back to someone and there's a give; there's a giving back, there is a giving back. It's a very impressive thing that the PGA does.
