"It's a dream come true, "To win on the PGA TOUR, and especially at Pebble Beach, and especially with Bill Murray ... I don't think I could dream this up."
So said Darren Andrew Points after his first PGA tour win yesterday after he won the pro title and he and Bill Murray, the clown prince of Pebble Beach won the pro-am event. Murray has also won the Champions tour version of this event with Scott Simpson.
The turning point was when Points 67,-15 271, holed his wedge for eagle on the tough 14th, then made a curling 30 footer for birdie on 15 to separate himself from Mahan.
By the way Steve Marino ended up T4 after taking a snowman (8) on 18th after he hit his 2nd into the Pacific..
I used to watch this event but I have tired of hours of billionaire chairmen of some Corporate Conglomerate with brutal swings mixed in with too much contrived comedy from Murray who is expected to be hilarious all the time by the talking heads on TV, and awkward movie stars like Clint Eastwood who look out of place on the golf course instead of smoking his cheroot on some tumbleweed wild west main street...
It's lost the charm it had when it was Bing's clambake and all the big boys, Arnie, Jack,Gary etal showed up. Now it's just too corporate to be riveting..
