We all need a little Bill Murray in our lives, and the actor brought us one of the best moments of the weekend after sinking a no-look putt at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
The Groundhog Day actor and golfing fanatic was the life and soul of the tournament, knocking in a shot in the most nonchalant fashion imaginable on Saturday.
Bill, who starred in classic 80s golf film Caddyshack, took the crowd by surprise during an action-packed round, turning his back to the hole on the green.
Staring out into the distance, he flicked the ball with his putter before throwing the club to his caddy in celebration.

Bill is no stranger to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, having been a regular fixture at the competition for the past 20 years and wearing an impressive array of strange hats in that time.
The 71-year-old was one of the celebrities playing alongside the pros at the tournament in California this year alongside the likes of Don Cheadle, Mia Hamm and Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts.
