Editor's note: Pat Perez broke through with his first PGA TOUR win at the 50th Bob Hope Classic hosted by Arnold Palmer last week in Palm Springs, Caif. He shot a spectacular 33-under 327 in the 90-hole event, including a first-round 61. Here are some e-mails PGATOUR.COM received from his fans congratulating him on his maiden victory.

Congrats, Pat, on your first PGA TOUR title! Robbie

Hey Pat, great finish!!! I've been following your career and really felt you had it together this year and would get your first win! So I drafted you in my golf pool and wish you all the best for a real break-out year. Good luck at Torrey Pines! Cheers, Skins

Nice WIN Double P! Keep the party and the great golf going when you come back to Scottsdale! Mitch

Pat, I'm a fan from Mexico City. I've been rooting for you over the last few years, and I want to congratulate you on this great win, which I'm sure will be the first of many to come. Te mando un abrazo y que sigan las victorias. Toeo

Pat, I've been a big fan of yours for a long time. All of us in Chicago are so proud of you! We knew you would break through and grab #1! Reeve

Pat, as a fellow Sun Devil, I'm happy to hear about your first TOUR win! Congrats! Go Devils! Evan

Congratulations, Pat! I knew you could do it. Now that the monkey is off your back, I expect to see you do it again many times. Your swing, tempo, timing, and go-to shot all looked great. Have a terrific celebration--you earned it. Also, congratulations on your recent marriage. Jim

Wire to wire baby!! Great job!!! 1st of many more to come! Jeff

Double P, you are the MAN! Great playing out there and way to stay the course. Keep it up and focus on the long road of wins ahead! Zach

Congrats to you, Mr. Perez! I think it is awesome to see a first-time winner, especially this early in the year! I've dreamed of being in your position (though my golf game is severely lacking), and I'm sure many of us watching on our TVs envy your position. Enjoy, and I'll be tracking your progress! Aaron

Congratulations, Pat, on finally getting your first PGA TOUR victory. I have been a fan for years. You played great this week. Keep it going. Continued success for more wins this year. Ian

Solid play and patience paid off. You will continue to win when the opportunity arises. Congratulations on your first, but not last win. Ray

Congratulations, Pat. I'm surprised it took eight years to finally break through. You have been the most impressive Canadian Tour alumni that I've seen in the past 13 years come through on the Canadian Tour. It's great to see that the dedication you put into this past off-season has paid off so quickly. Looking forward to watching you win your first major now. Keep it going. Congratulations again. Peter

Genius! Nice work, Pat Perez. I backed you from the UK, and you won me over $1,000! Carry on and get some more wins! Thanks! Simon

Pat, congrats on the big win! Hopefully, it's the first of many. All the best for the rest of '09 from your fans in the Caesar Golf League. Cheers! Todd

Congratulations, Pat. I love this confident attitude that you have developed. Now go ahead and challenge in the majors, too. You should, because you ARE good enough! Mark

The first one's the hardest one! Congrats, and am looking forward to many more! Dan

Pat, congratulations on your first win on the PGA TOUR. I have watched you for many years and am happy you finally got one. Good luck this year. Tim

Well done, P-Squared. I've been pulling for you for a few years now. Way to close the deal! Darren

Hey, Pat, it's been a long time coming. Great win and wish you all the best the rest of the year!!!! Logan
