Star attraction
Tiger Woods talks to reporters during a news conference at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament in Pebble Beach.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Bill Murray stumbled into the back of a crowded conference room Tuesday just as Tiger Woods was wrapping up his news conference at the AT&T 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.

"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 ...
