In the immortal words of Jean-Paul Sartre: Head’s up!
Actor Bill Murray hooked a tee shot so badly during a Pro-Am event Friday that the ball sailed across a street next to the hole and hit a woman in her front yard. She was knocked to the ground and had to go to the hospital.
Murray, who starred as Carl the assistant greenskeeper in “Caddyshack,” was on No. 9 at the TPC Tampa Bay when he hit Gail DiMaggio as she was watching the tournament.
Murray’s caddy took him in a cart to the woman’s yard, where paramedics were attending to her. Tournament officials said DiMaggio was lying on the ground.
“I wasn’t sure I was in bounds or not,” Murray said. “And I saw this NBC golf cart coming at me and he said, ‘I hate to be the one to tell you this but you hit a lady. She’s down on the ground.’
“That is, you know, sobering,” said the 58-year-old comedian and avid golfer.
