Back in Louisiana, we're still looking for things to cheer about. This was a great, dominating performance, reminiscent of LSU's victory over Miami in the Peach Bowl, and almost as heart-warming as the work you [and Hal and Kelly!] did in providing relief for Hurricane victims and rescue workers. Thanks for the great example! Congratulations and keep up the good work!
-- Ambrose Ramsey

David, congratulations on a great win. Really is great to see you get this season off to a strong start. You are a great ambassador of golf, the TOUR and the SEC. Keep up the great work!
-- Jason Loehr

David, Congratulations on another win. I have been watching you since a high school buddy of mine caddied for you in your first event here in the Quad Cities. It has been fun to watch you mature on TOUR to become one of the strongest players out there. Keep up the good work!
-- Chris Manor

Congratulations, David, on your win at the Sony (Open in Hawaii). I really enjoyed playing with you a year ago at the Mercedes (Championships) and look forward to having another opportunity to do so at a future tournament. All the best for an outstanding 2006.
-- Craig Rothmeier

GOOD FOR YOU!!! It is great to see someone with real class win again and after the physical problems you have had. It is a great day. I have not had the pleasure to meet you, but one of my friends from Wichita has and he has nothing but praise for you and your attitude about golf and life.
-- Darwin McClung

Hi, David: You were kind enough to sign my daughter's visor at the Sony Open. She will cherish this forever! Congratulations on your win!
-- Dave Cox

David, I have been a fan of you and Hal Sutton, and it was great to see you win the Sony Open. I live in Henderson, Texas so I'm not too far from your hometown of Shreveport. I will continue to watch you during your golfing career and hope you have a great winning year. CONGRATULATIONS on a beautiful win.
-- Don Toivanen

Hi, David! Congrats with a tremendous victory. I follow you from Norway. Hope your body is OK now after the collapse. Hope to see you with our only Norwegian PGA TOUR-player, Henrik Bjornstad, soon. All the best to you. You are a great sportsman. Kind regards,
-- Karl Smaavik of Oslo, Norway.

Way to go! You continue to serve as a great ambassador for LSU and Louisiana. Tear ‘em up in 2006.
-- Greg Koury, LSU Law Class of '99.

Way to go, David! I saw you in Atlanta and told you that I, too, was a Toms and I must admit, I pull for you every week. If nothing else, it puts my name in the headlines. Go get ‘em.
-- Randy Toms

Dear David. I have followed you on television for many years. I want to congratulate you with the win at Sony Open. It is nice to see you back on the track. Best regards
-- Peter Carlsen (Denmark)

David, you’re a class act. Congrats on your win and keep on doing your wonderful charity work.
-- Mike Frederick

Congrats on your victory and course-record 61 in Hawaii this weekend. Being a Louisiana native and LSU alum, you represent the state honorably. Geaux Tigers!!
-- Mark Cunningham

David, what you did this weekend was unbelievable! I'm not even talking about the large margin of victory and the course record-setting round on Saturday. To win so soon after having the heart surgery was incredible. Being from the Farmington area, I was looking forward to seeing you play in the 84 LUMBER Classic last season. I was concerned when I learned of your episode on the course. I'm glad to see that you have returned to the level you were playing at before you injury. Congratulations on your win in the 2006 Sony Open!
-- Justin Davanzo

Hi David. Congratulations on winning the Sony Open in Hawaii. Here in Asia we had to watch the game start very early in the morning around 3 a.m. It's a nice way to start your 2006 TOUR. I have always been a big fan of you. Keep in the fairway, and sink all your over-20 yard putts!
-- Faizal

Great job today, David. Keep it up. You are one of the best ball-strikers I've ever seen. Congrats,
-- Mike Martin of Louisville, Kent.

Congratulations to a guy who not only overcame several personal health setbacks last year but spent countless hours in his home state of Louisiana helping others overcome their setbacks when the hurricanes took all they had. Sometimes the humble and generous are blessed beyond our understanding.
-- Ed Hawkins

From someone who has experienced the same heart condition, lives and dies purple and gold and survived Katrina. Thanks for a bright day in The Big Easy. Congrats.
