Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCarl Spackler was originally a silent character in the script, in the manner of Harpo Marx, but after Bill Murray was cast, Harold Ramis encouraged Murray to speak and improvise.
- GoofsWhile Danny making that last putt effectively tied the game, meaning neither team lost or won, - Al's last-second bet of "Double or nothing he makes it" essentially negates the original bet and creates a new one. Judge Smails agrees to this new wager, (which is not a smart move since he already has tied the game, and may even win if Danny misses) so when Danny makes the putt, Al wins NOTHING, per Al's "double or NOTHING" new bet. Al then forces Smails to pay up even though he really didn't owe any money.

Carl Spackler: What an incredible Cinderella story. This unknown comes out of nowhere to lead the pack. At Augusta, he's on his final hole. He's about 455 yards away. He's going to hit about a two iron, I think. Well, he got all of that. The crowd is standing on its feet, here at Augusta. The normally reserved Augusta crowd is going wild. 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, l expect. Don't you think? He's got a beautiful back swing. That's - oh! He got all of that one! He's got to 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. He's got about 195 yards left, and he's gonna - looks like he's got about an eight iron. This crowd has gone deadly silent. Cinderella story. Out of nowhere. A former greenskeeper now about to become the Master's champion. It looks like a miraculous - it's in the hole! It's in the hole!
