Editor’s note: Stuart Appleby won his second PGA TOUR title of the season on Sunday at the Shell Houston Open. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Appleby, who now gets to head to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes Championships in 2007.

Watch highlights of Appleby’s victory.

Apples, fantastic display this week in Houston. I admire your consistent, powerful, yet in-control golf swing and the way you conduct yourself on the course. I wish you all the best the rest of the year. You will surely win a well-deserved major any day now.
Tony Whyte

Well done Stuart. I caddied for your playing partner, Paul Harford, in the Queensland Open at Brisbane Golf Club in 1990 or 1991 when you won as an amateur. You were using a Domino putter to great effect then, and things haven't changed -- except you obviously hit it a lot better now!! I watched with great admiration today. All the best to you and yours. Say hi to John Senden for me if you see him. Regards.
Mike Straughair

Great win, Stuart. You're a class act and my son Ben and I are very happy for you. We followed you Saturday and Sunday and on Saturday your caddy gave Ben a ball with your logo on it at the 12th hole after you birdied. He's now your No. 1 fan among 6 year olds. Looking forward to watching you in the future. Best of Luck.
Braun & Ben Thompson of Houston, Texas

Hi, Stuey. Congratulations on another great win. You make Australia very proud. Keep up the good work. Now we want a major from you. I know you can do it. The U.S. Open would be a good one to win. Wish you good luck, and good playing.
Stu from the Gold Coast

Stuart, great golf! Your second PGA (TOUR) win this year! The same day another Aussie golfer, Paul Gow, wins the inaugural Athens Regional Foundation Classic. Next the U.S. Open.
Bruce Etheredge of Russell Vale Golf Club in Wollongong, Australia.

G'day, Stuart Congratulations on a magnificent win. Probably the best wire-to-wire win I have seen in a very long time. The Aussies are killing them in the USA and you are the leader of the pack. Well done, mate. Hope to see you when you return to Melbourne. Good luck for the remainder of the year, Hopefully, a major is around the corner. Best regards.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oh, Oh, Oh. Well done. Although I am on board a ship right now. just seeing you make the front page of the news is excellent. The Aussies are really going great guns this year. From onboard the Norwegian Cruise Line, Majesty, congrats.
Russell Otway

Apples, well done on the win, mate. Great to see another Aussie leading the way in the U.S. You make it worth getting up early on a Monday morning. Now how about a U.S. Open to add to your collection this year? By the way, I hope you managed to find a cold VB in Houston on a Sunday night. Cheers!
Andrew Heys

Great work, Stuart, I was up early in Wollongong, NSW watching every shot on Fox Sports. You appeared so in control! So exciting to see Aussies on the leaderboard every week! Thanks, mate.
Peter Cahill

You Lil’ Beauty, Apples. Another win for the Aussies and your second this year. You blokes are making it impossible not to get up at 4 a.m. to watch you. Couldn't be happier for you, Stuart -- unless it was that elusive major. Still three left to go this year so best of luck, mate, and go, you good thing. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oi, Oi, Oi!

G’day Stewie, well done on your victory. It's Matt Carver, your Victorian Amateur State Team teammate from 1992 here. Great to see you doing well and flying the Aussie flag. It shows you what the world is about -- you've gone on to taking the golf world by storm and I've gone on to taking the real estate world by storm with my agencies. Great family you've got there, too. I've got three under 5 (years old) -- two girls and a boy -- and I've made them all diehard Hawthorn supporters. Last time I saw you, you borrowed $20 from me for a pie and coke. I figure (the) interest on that over 14 years based upon your earnings must be about a million bucks you owe me now. I'll keep an eye out for the cheque. Congratulations again, keep up the great work. You just make me think I should have listened to Banny all those years ago about changing my swing!
Matt Carver

Congratulations, Stuey. You are an inspiration to all young Australian golfers. Your approach to the game, your mentality and your modesty are second to none. You truly are one of Australian golf's great ambassadors. Well done on your second PGA (TOUR) victory in '06. All the best for the remainder of the year.
Jonas Cuschieri

Stuart, Your steely resolve is an inspiration for us weekend hackers trying to snatch victory from the vice-like grip of incompetence. Great to see you get a second victory this season and look forward to number three.
John Miller

Congratulations from your friends at the B.C. Open! What a great tournament! Keep up the great play in New Orleans. It would be great to see your name at the top again next week. Say hello to Ashley and the girls for us!
