CONGRATULATIONS, VIJAY  Editor's note: Vijay Singh won his 30th PGA TOUR title on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Championship. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Singh, who will head to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship in 2008. Congrats! You deserve the win in paradise. I really like the way you always play the game within yourself. I have mirrored my game style after yours and I am very successful. Oh, and don't ever get rid of your belly putter again. Good wishes in 2007! Ken Underwood 
Awesome way to start 2007 Vijay! Congratulations on your 30th TOUR win and for breaking the legendary Sam Snead's record for wins over the age of 40. Although much is written about your tireless work ethic, your accomplishments would not be possible without phenomenal talent. Your example is truly inspirational! Hope this marks the start of another great run of victories. Arvind Mani Vijay: I am also 43. So, here's to the success of a member of the class of 1963... Keep Playing, Keep Winning and Enjoy. Paul Birrell Among other accomplishments, you will be known as the most successful golfer in his 40s. I'm sure you will win more majors. Rodolfo Echeverria Vijay, way to go! I am a big fan and I don't think you get the credit you deserve. You are the modern-day Ben Hogan. You made your own way working your way up to the PGA TOUR and a No. 1 ranking. I hope you can do it again. I want you to know I am pulling for you. Go Vijay! Curtis Rystadt I told everyone at work (although winter up here in Montreal, Canada has not been normal) that Spring officially started for me last Thursday, as round one of the PGA TOUR season was going to take place! It was great to see some amazing golf and amazing scenery! Congrats to you Vijay on an excellent tournament and being this year's first winner! David Rodman Mr. Singh, congratulations on an exciting victory. I admire your hard work and attitude to do well in all the tournaments you enter. Being an Indian American, it is even more special. Congratulations and good luck in the Sony Open in Hawaii. Stan Paul Way to go Vijay! Keep on winning, for your legacy as one of the all-time greats and for all of us "over the hill" guys who continue to try to improve and play well as we get older. Three cheers for Vijay! Steve Carley Been a huge fan and have admired Vijay for many years. In 2005, at the U.S. Open, living in Pinehurst, I had the opportunity to watch the best ball striking I have ever seen. No one is more deserving than this hardworking and sweet swinging man. If there was any doubt that this great player was slipping down the ranks, there shouldn't have been, because he has the heart of a champion! Congratulations Vijay! Robert Page Vijay - way to go! My dad and I always cheer for you and we're so happy you're starting 2007 with a win. Keep it up! Krishna, age 8 I have followed Vijay since 1993-1994 and am amazed and overjoyed at his accomplishments. Congratulations Vijay on this extraordinary win! Especially since everyone is making a "big deal" about age. I am 46 and am proud Vijay is showing that age is truly no factor in his accomplishments. Roxanne Shelton Hey Vijay, I'm a longtime fan. Congrats ! Great to see you come out early and establish yourself with a win. Take it one tournament at a time and enjoy each one. DEORAM Well done Vijay. Glad to see you are off to a great start. Let's keep it going. Best wishes for the rest of the season. Your fans here in Canada are pulling for you. Take care, Dorothy Hi Vijay we watched you play the final back nine from Shanghai, China. You made us proud of your great play, especially with the five to six missed birdies which would have given you minus 20 and yet you were so calm. Congratulations and hope your son will enjoy driving the Benz. Best regards, KY Lai Shanghai Vijay, that was a great start for the year. I wish you every success this year and hope that that you will give Tiger a run, as you did three years ago. Your longtime fan, Som Well done Vijay Bhai! You're an inspiration to my son. May you be blessed with many more wins to follow. Regards, Peppy Maharaj and family Dear Vijay, Congratulations again on your success in winning the season opener in Hawaii. You proved that hard work and humbleness pay. I have always been an admirer of you as a golfer and as an individual. Keep it up and continue to inspire Asians like me. Wish you all the best and success in 2007. SF Law Mr. Singh, Yes, you deserve to be called MR. As a 6-year volunteer at the Mercedes-Benz Championship, I was overwhelmed with excitement for your success at the 2007 Mercedes today. Thank you for continuing to return to our island and honor us with the privilege of observing your skills as a golfer. Your perseverance has been rewarded! Doug Halbert Congratulations Vijay (Victory in Hindi). What a way to start the new year. You are a champion. Take note, you look 33 not 43. I want see you winning nine tournaments this year too. Good luck for the Sony Open in Hawaii. Begam Pandit Great Win Veej! This is a fantastic start to your season and your swing seems to be in great shape. Your putting has also improved. All this bodes well for the future. I am sure you will win at Augusta this year if you putt like you did at Kapalua. Best Wishes, Sanjay | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
