Tiger Woods draws attention at Pebble Beach

Bill Murray stumbled into the back of a crowded conference room Tuesday just as Tiger Woods was wrapping up his press conference at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The “Caddyshack” star looked more confused than usual.
“Where’s the other guy?” Murray asked.
Murray, as it turned out, was an hour late.
He was supposed to be at the interview table with D.A. Points, his partner last year when they won the pro-am, and perhaps the most overlooked defending champion at a PGA Tour event since Nick Price at Colonial in 2003.
“I got here and I got the program and I looked at the tickets and I thought, `Wait a minute. Didn’t I win?”’ Points said. “And there are pictures of Bill everywhere. I’m driving down the highway, I see a billboard. There’s Bill. There’s Tiger. I’m like, `Where am I?”’
It’s the only PGA Tour event Points has won, so he was a little bummed at the oversight.
But he gets it.
“The celebrities obviously make this event larger-than-life sometimes,” he said.
