Bill Murray has given his explanation for the night he was stopped by police while driving a golf buggy through Stockholm city centre. The Groundhog Day star said he was just giving friends a lift home. Appearing at the Venice Film Festival to promote his latest movie The Darjeeling Limited, a Swedish journalist asked Murray: "What the heck were you doing in that golf cart?" Murray, 56, a keen golfer, said he had been invited to Stockholm by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik to play in a pro-am tournament. He said: "I was driven to a party celebrating the event in a golf cart. The people I was with didn't wish to drive home, so I said I would drive." "I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way, like a bus. As the last couple were getting out - who wished to be dropped off at a 7/11, which I didn't even know they had in Stockholm - they (the police) asked me to come over and assumed that I was drunk." "I tried to explain to them that I was a golfer." Murray was given a blood test for alcohol after refusing to take a breath test following the incident last month. He was driving en route to his hotel from a restaurant in the city.
