The most unique moment I’ve ever seen in a golf tournament wasn’t a monster Tiger Woods’ shot or a missed short putt prohibiting a win.

The most unique thing I’ve ever seen was also viewed by millions of others on national television, and it was something you may not want to see again. I know I don’t.

Late one early week afternoon several years ago, the scene at AT&T Pebble Beach Golf Links was a chamber of commerce freeze frame.

The temperature was dropping quickly and the setting sun provided an ideal backdrop. A few spectators drifted in and out of the upscale retail shops that parallel the practice green.

No one was putting until a solitary player arrived with an open bottle of wine tucked into the back pocket of his pants. It was Bill Murray, and it didn't take long for an increasing number of fans (and golfers) to watch his impromptu routine.

When Murray made a putt, he'd take an extended swig from his bottle of wine. When his missed a putt, the crowd collectively groaned. It was a hilarious, unrehearsed half-hour of comedy.
