Bill Murray - Cinderella Story

It's Masters Week and what better way to start the first round than with Bill Murray's "Cinderella Story".


What an incredible Cinderella story. T
his unknown comes outta nowhere to lead the pack at Augusta. 

He’s at the final hole. He’s about 455 yards away, he’s gonna hit about a two iron, I think … 

(Carl reels back and swats the head off of a mum. Petals fly like confetti) 

Boy, he got all of that. The crowd is standing on its feet here at Augusta. The normally reserved Augusta crowd is going wild … 

(he pauses as he notices some golfers coming) 

for this young Cinderella who’s come out of nowhere. He’s got about 350 yards left. 

He’s going to hit about a five iron, it looks like, don’t you think? 

(Carl pulls the grass whip back to demolish the next mum) 

He’s got a beautiful backswing … That’s … Oh! He got all of that one! He’s gotta be pleased with that. 

The crowd is just on its feet here. He’s a Cinderella boy, tears in his eyes, I guess, as he lines up this last shot. And he’s got about 195 yards left, and he’s got a, it looks like he’s got about an eight iron. This crowd has gone deadly silent. 

Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become the Masters champion. 

(Carl reels back one last time and — Swat! — blasts the third mum to smithereens) 

It looks like a mirac . . . It’s in the hole! IT’S IN THE HOLE!!!


Cedar's Take: 40 years on golf tournament patrons are still screaming "IT'S IN THE HOLE!!!" Ask any Gen-Z if they know why they are yelling It's in the hole and they can't tell you. The answer is of course the comic genius of Bill Murray.
