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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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! |
