Editor's note: Fred Funk won his eighth PGA TOUR title on Sunday at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Funk, who is headed to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship in 2008.

Great win, Fred! You're like fine wine.....you get better with age! Keep it going! Your many friends here in the D.C. area continue to keep an eye on your exploits. Congratulations again. Jim Faris

Fred, you are awesome! Everyone in D.C. was pulling for you and you did it! Mark Schraf

I love your game Fred. I have followed you for many years and really appreciate your attitude as well. In this day and age of "win at all costs", it is refreshing to see someone be successful and have fun at the same time. Chris Jones

Hey Fred, Just wanted to congratulate you on your victory yesterday! Winning on both tours within the same year is quite an accomplishment. You seem like a very grateful, humble, hard working and down to earth guy. You represent yourself and your profession with class! Thanks for being a breath of fresh air! Blake Wold

Congratulations on your win. I just admire you and the way you play. I just turned 50 and I'm a 5 year golfer this year and still improving. You're my example. Keep up the good work, Frans

Fred, As a 56-year-old golfer, it's great to see your success on both the PGA TOUR and the Champions Tour. Yesterday, I shot a personal best, a 9-hole 42, and dedicated it to you. Jim

Hello, Fred, this is your second-cousin Harry that you meet every year in Akron at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. Congratulations on your win! It's another piece of evidence that the Funk DNA gives us a "young for our age" advantage over other guys. Greeting to S, T & P, and to Mark as well! Hope to see you at one of your stops this year. God Bless! Harry

Fred, your attitude keeps the winning spirit in you alive! Congratulations! Dee

It's always great to see a fellow Terp win. Way to go Fred. Brian

Fred, Congrats--We were in Playa del Carmen this weekend on a cruise but couldn't get to the course to see you. I am the old D.C. resident who sees you at Doral and Honda. I went to school at St Anselms in DC I know you remember me. I am very proud of your accomplishments both on the PGA TOUR and the Champions Tour. Again, congrats and many more successes. Your big fan in Boca, Ron Martin

Way to go Fred! You make a statement for us "older guys," and our alma mater wins a HUGE ACC game against Carolina. Fear the Turtle ! Tim Dzubak

Dear Fred, thanks for all the great thrills over the years. You were ever the gentleman and a joy to watch. You deserve all this. Have a great year. T. Mc Garry

Congratulations Fred! It is great to see you playing great and winning. You make golf look like a lot of fun, which is what it is supposed to be! Good luck the rest of the year. Chris in Virginia

Congratulations! We in Ponte Vedra are very proud of you. The Ingrams
