Fans who stuck around after the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was postponed were treated to an impromptu celebrity shootout featuring a thinly disguised Nick Faldo and an exploding ball.
Pro-Am favorite Bill Murray, dressed in denim overalls, teed off on the 14th hole with an exploding ball, then made par by landing a 50-foot uphill putt.Murray and partner Glen Campbell went on to win the event, which was largely created for CBS television when action at the soggy AT&T was put off until Sunday.
Other players Saturday included Kevin Costner, John Denver, Clint Eastwood, James Woods and Huey Lewis. The celebrities played the four final holes of Pebble Beach in pairs, with the worst teams eliminated after each hole.
The shootout had its share of made-for-TV moments. Faldo appeared in a long wig, introducing himself as "Fanny Faldo," after his own caddie, Fanny Sunesson.
Costner delighted fans on the 15th hole by driving into the crowded bleachers, then searching for the ball.
Eastwood and Lewis were eliminated on the 15th hole. In order to speed up play, Woods and Randy Quaid also were eliminated in a chip-off and all the teams skipped the 17th hole.
Denver and partner Michael Chiklis were eliminated after a drive-off on the 18th hole, leaving Murray and Campbell to battle Costner and partner Andy Garcia.
On the final putt of the deciding putt-off, Murray came about two inches closer to the hole than Garcia.
Bob Allen, chairman of the board at AT&T, presented Murray and Campbell with a check for $20,000.
"I can't believe I'm giving a check to someone dressed like you," Allen said to Murray.
"I can't believe I'm taking a check from someone like you," Murray replied.
