Davis, I've been following your career above all others on the TOUR since '88 when you were just a young launcher of the golf ball. Your tremendous sportsmanship over the years will be your legacy and with win No. 20, a sure Hall of Fame member. Congratulations on your lifetime exemption and continued success. Christopher

Awesome, dude! Knew you still had it in you! Big fan and happy to see you back in the winner's circle where you belong! Bob

Davis, congrats. I love to see people overcome adversity and win. Your self-professed "grinding" is an inspiration to our youth who need to see that hard work and perseverance pay off! May God continue to bless you and your family. Brian

Fantastic. Was there a rainbow with this win? I hope so! Chris

A lifetime on TOUR for Davis Love III. It can't get much better than that. Well done on that amazing performance this week and a stunning career. Let's keep seeing that name at the top of the leaderboard. Paul

Congrats on your win. After following you on Shot Tracker, I went out in 32 degree Iowa cold and hit balls for 30 minutes. Scott

Well done, Davis. Back to your best it would seem. Fantastic result with your 20th career win. A huge achievement. Looking forward to watching you at The Masters next year and on tour with that lifetime exemption secured! Jeremy

Congratulations, Davis. I am sure that the 20th feels as good as the first. You are a class act, and I wish you many more. Chris

WELCOME BACK, DL!!! How great to see you playing again and finishing the season in such spectacular fashion. Your commitment and sportsmanship have always been a great example of what golf's really about. Congratulations on capturing No. 20. Can't wait to see you in the Hall of Fame! Barry

Congrats, Mr. Love, on your victory this week and the lifetime TOUR card. Your hard work through the tough times and injury has finally paid off. I watched you practice and play, before and after, from Friday to Sunday. I admire the fact that even after your 64 on Saturday, you practiced for a while afterwards. It truly was an honor to witness your ability on the course. I certainly learned a lot throughout the week; and, hopefully, I can apply some of it to my game. After your win, you even had time to shake my hand. You are a true champion and to me, a hero. Paul

Congratulations. You have been the pro I've followed for years. The pars you made on 17 and 18 were phenomenal. You made all the Tar Heels proud today! Charles

Davis, from one UNC grad to another, congrats on No. 20. Wow, what a great week of golf you played. Hope to see you in the winner's circle many more times in 2009. Take care. Go HEELS. Jeff

Congrats. A well deserved win. Next, the Ryder Cup captain. Bruce

Congrats, Davis! I am so happy that you have sealed that lifetime exemption, and you can head back to Kapalua! Here's to a great 2009! Jenny

Davis, congrats on the win! I have followed your career over the years and was so glad to see you rebound the way you did following your ankle injury. It just goes to show that if you put your mind to something, good results will happen! Keep it up and have a great 2009 season. Always a fan, Randy

Way to go Davis! So happy to see you back in the winner's circle. The young guns are fun to watch, but I would rather see guys like you and Fred win. Keep up the good work! Rick

Great win, Davis. As one of your biggest fans I had no doubt that you would come through again soon. Congratulations. All of your hard work and dedication paid off with a great way to end the year. Hello Hawaii. Glen

Congratulations, Davis! You have always played with honor and poise. It was great to see you back at the top of the leaderboard. All the best! Mitch
