I have been following your career closely ever since your first PGA TOUR win, and you have always been my favorite player. I like the way you handle yourself both on and off the course.

Enjoy the victory with your family, and good luck with the rest of the FedExCup. I will be cheering for you. Randy

Great job Steve! You've done Wisconsin proud. Good luck the rest of the season. Who knows, maybe a FedExCup trophy is in your future. Go Badgers! Keith

I've been a fan since your days playing on the Canadian Tour. Your even approach to the game and your calm nature served me well when I was introducing my two sons to the game. I often pointed you out to them as a fine example of how to comport yourself on the course. You're to be congratulated not only for your well-deserved win today but for the way you have handled the tough days in the past. Enjoy the moment and good luck in the rest of the FedExCup events!
