Editor's note: Aaron Baddeley won his second PGA TOUR title at the FBR Open on Sunday. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Baddeley, who gets to head to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship in 2008.

Great win Badds! Well done on keeping up the great strike rate of Aussie victories on the U.S. TOUR. What an exciting finish on the back nine, holing some great putts.

Good luck for the rest of the PGA TOUR season. Brendan F from Sydney, Australia

Congratulations on your win; best of success in the future. Thanks for being a positive role model to all who watch. Your Christianity and openness about it is an inspiration. Keep the faith and continue to lead by actions and words. Steve Haveman

The last round you played is wonderful. You didn't lose hope, (your) fought for it and you are well-deserved for it. Congrats. Keep it up! Raj Peddisetty

You handle yourself with class and humility. That in itself is as impressive as your success. Stay a good man. Congrats! Tony

Hey, Badds and Richelle. What a victory in your hometown. You both are very deserving. Keep up all the great work! Shauna and Troy Matteson

Aaron, You bloody bewdy!!! I was watching this morning until I had to go to work. Only checked in again on the PGA (TOUR) site after you had won. Congratulations from a big fan. Peter Duck

Aaron, I was living in Tasmania the first time I watched you play as an amateur. I will never forget the 4-iron you hit into the green on the 18th hole to beat Greg Norman. Keep up the good play -- I always knew you had it in you. Jonathan Craig

Congrats Mate, It's great to see the putter flashing like that. Feel confident the rest of the year and remember every time you line up those 15-footers that you truly are the best putter on TOUR and that's one step closer to reaching your goal of being No. 1. No short of comments here on your game, this win was impressive but your win at Moonah a few years ago was up there for me. As an American I was able to play both courses there the year you won the Aussie Open and know how difficult both of those courses are. Big fan. Hope I see you in Tampa in March. Michael Good

Well played, Aaron. I'm at work in Melbourne following the Internet to see how you fared. So great to see the Aussies, and especially you, doing so well on the big stage! Well done. Go Aussies. Nick Riordan

1st Peter 1:23. I am proud of your faith first, then you golf game. Good luck and keep on the path of straight and narrow. Keep your eyes on the goal and prize. R. Worthean

You're a true ambassador of Christ, Aaron. Congrats, and may God continue to bless and use you for His glory. P.S. Why not set your goals high and challenge Tiger. Philippians 4:13. Mike Costello

Fabulous win, Aaron. I have been watching my computer to get updates every few minutes; in between doing some work in Moe, Victoria. You have lifted Aussie spirits. Good luck for 2007. James Hassett

Badds, I just followed your back nine on the net in my office. Thanks, mate, for a great start to my working week. Well done, mate, from all Aussies, and may God bless you and keep you through another big year. Dave Turnbull

So good to see a devoted Christian brother win. I thank God for you and your testimony. All to His Glory. Please come and play at Memphis so we can say hi! The Sandys

Congratulations on your victory in the desert! Thank you for giving the praise to God on national television. God speed for the rest of the year. Doug Smith

What a great story, Badds. Our family was on vacation in Oz when you won last year. We hadn't been back in 13 years and watching with my boys and my wife yesterday bought back some great memories while we were freezing up in Wisconsin. I think you are going to win many more times before we go home again. Have fun. Ian Gordon

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi! That's what they should have been chanting on No. 16! Congrats on your second victory and achieving another step towards being No. 1! Tyler Hogan

Congrats! Thank you for giving glory to God. He is honored by your finish - whatever it is - first or last. May you continue to shine for Him. Barry Austin

Congrats Aaron!! Unfortunately, I had to give up on the golf after your bogey on No. 14 and head out to the annual Super Bowl party, but it looks like the three birds after that sealed the deal! Looking forward to seeing you at the Presidents Cup this year in my hometown! David Rodman P.S. A quick note to Jeff Quinney, (you) may be snake-bitten, but there is no other golfer right now that is hotter than you! Keep playing the way you are and a victory will be yours!

Congratulations on your second victory! It is refreshing to hear a Christian golfer give thanks to God for his achievement for winning a tournament. I will keep you in my prayers as your career progresses. God bless your and your wife. Tim Harkleroad

Congrats from the golf fans at Hillsong Sydney! :-) You were always on the winning team, so good to see you get a winner's cheque again! Neville Yates
