Comedic hero Bill Murray participated in the first round of the Pebble Beach Pro Am golf tournament last weekend, wearing a ghillie suit, a type of camouflage clothing usually worn by hunters and snipers. Bill Murray was one of many celebrities to play in the charity golf tournament put on by AT&T, joining Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, and actors Don Cheadle and Andy Garcia.
Murray played with pro partner D.A. Points, but did not qualify for the pro portion of the tournament and donned pink pants and a purple striped shirt for his second outfit of the Pebble Beach Pro Am.
The 61-year-old star of Caddyshack and Lost in Translation is an annual fixture in the charity tournament which takes place in Pebble Beach, California.
