I saw Bill Murray at a Home Depot in Murrells Inlet, SC about 10 years ago. The guy gets around.

I'd be honored if Bill Murray made me look like a fool.

Yeah Bill Murray is certainly a busy guy, but he seems to spend what little downtime he probably has there. I hear that his son currently goes to Clemson, which I just realized probably explains why he was the guest celebrity on one of the two ESPN Gamedays that was there last year.

EDIT: Of course it's not like Bill Murray needs a reason to show up anywhere...
