Editor’s note: Dean Wilson won his first PGA TOUR title on Sunday at The INTERNATIONAL. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Wilson, who now gets to head to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes Championships in 2007.

Congrats Dean! We're your biggest fans (all the way from New Jersey). My 5-month-old daughter, sitting near me at the local driving range on Sunday, was wearing the hat you autographed for her at this year's U.S. Open. Just a coincidence? We'll see, as she wears it again this weekend during the PGA Championship! Congratulations again.
Chris, Lisa, and little Danielle Taylor

Another feather in the cap for the Brigham Young brigade. A friend of classmate Mike Weir's is a friend of Canada, so congratulations from north of the border on the first of many PGA TOUR victories to come
Phil Winch

Dean, congrats on the victory. Even though I bleed Utah Red I enjoyed watching a Cougar win The INTERNATIONAL. I know my dad Karl Smith is also thrilled with your win. Enjoy the victory, you deserve it.
Mike Sandberg

Dean, nice going. Sometimes justice prevails! You were first known to me as the man paired with Annika (Sorenstam) and you were very supportive and a true gentleman with a great attitude! From then on you kept improving and now are a fine example of a PGA TOUR winner. Keep working hard and best wishes on developing and establishing your playing career because, you know what? You appear to still be a true gentleman with a great attitude and that will serve you well always. Sincerely,
Tim Whyte

Dean, a quick note of congratulations from your Friday scorer (remember, the "other" Dean?). I'm a great fan of Tom Lehman, but I couldn't help pulling for you after the way you turned your round around with the birdie from down the hill left on No. 9. Then the look on your face on No. 17 after the putt went in and you said "that was huge". Congratulations, and here's hoping this was the first of many. Hope to see you next year in July.
Dean Edwards

Congratulations Dean! Jan has always told me about the will, determination and desire you possessed when you were in junior golf. She has always been impressed with your passion and desire for the game, your will to press against the odds and your belief that you could get it done. We've watched you over the years get closer and closer to the title and it was great to see you pull it out against Tom. We hope that you continue to excel in something that you love to do and that this is simply the first of many more wins to come. Have fun, play hard and love life. Aloha,
John & Jan

Kudos! Your stick-to-itiveness has been rewarded. You have been a great addition to my fantasy team. Best wishes for the remainder of the year and beyond.
Dave Kilby

Shaka bruddah! Fantastic to have a Hawaiian PGA TOUR winner. You probably won't remember but my mother used to babysit for you in Kaneohe. Looks like she did a great job! Aloha and much mahalo,
Darryl Imai

From the gang at Waialae Country Club (Home of the Sony Open in Hawaii). You da greatest, but David Ishii told me to tell you that he's still more handsome!
Garret Hayashi

Big time congratulations Dean! The Mililani Mafia was watching you on TV and cheering you on. Way to go! With your win at The INTERNATIONAL and Kimberly Kim's win at the U.S. Women's Amateur it was quite a weekend for Hawaiian golf. Best wishes and good luck for the future!
Keith Ishida

Dean, the best thing about the PGA TOUR is when new winners are crowned. It makes the TOUR exciting to know that, on any given week, consistent play and a hot putter can prevail. Congratulations on your first of hopefully many more wins.
Keith Charron

Dean: Congrats. It's probably appropriate that you and Annika won on the same day == you showed a lot of class a few years ago when you played with her in the Bank of America Colonial .
Jim Bledsoe

Dean, congrats from all the guys over here in Japan. Well done on a fine victory! Congrats,
Paul Jones

Wow! Way to go Dean. All your old BYU pals couldn't be happier for you! Best thing is we all know this is just the beginning. The flood gates are officially open. Make it happen! Oh, by the way, now that you have won $1.9 million this year on the PGA TOUR, how about reimbursing me for all the money you won from me on the Riverside Country Club putting green during our college days? With the stroke you have, I knew that putt on the second playoff hole was dead! Good luck next week in the PGA Championship.
David Terry (Pounder), Director of Golf Salt Lake City

Dean: About 80 Oahu Country Club members and guests were in the Grille Room pulling for you. When the last putt dropped there was the loudest cheer I had ever heard in the Club. You made Hawaii proud. Congratulations!
Percy Higashi

Howzit bruddah Dean! I work with NW Airlines, and I've been following your golfing career all thru your years in Japan, always watching you on TV. You just played spectacular today, and the best is yet to come for you! You make Hawaii so proud, and your golfing form and grace are admired by many! Many, many congratulations to you and I look forward to seeing you on TV and winning more tournaments to give everyone a run for their money! Aloha to you and your family! Looks like you got home court advantage in Maui in January! Yeehaw!
Deric

Hi Dean, I caddied for you quite a few years ago in the Tri-Cities Nationwide Tour tournament. Just wanted to drop you a line and congratulate you on the win. I've been following your career since I caddied for you and it’s great to see you do so well this year and get your first PGA TOUR win! Best wishes and stay in touch.
Ehren Pofahl

Way to Go Dean. I guess Lehman should pick you as a Captain’s pick, huh? If that doesn't show him you have the game to win I don't know what will. Good luck for the rest of the year!
Rich

Dean == Way to hang in there. You have been a very good player for a long time, but now you stepped up and crossed the threshold. You have a lot of fans in Chicago that are excited for you and are looking forward to seeing you at Medinah. Best always,
Rich

Congratulations Sweet Pineapple! You were clutch!
Mark Toole

Dean, congratulations from the professional staff at TPC Summerlin and TPC Canyons! We were all watching and everyone knew you could do it! Enjoy your victory and we will all see you soon!
Matt Oakley, PGA

Dean, fantastic! I follow you every week by looking at the results in the paper, scanning from the top until I see your name. I can stop my scan this week after reading the first name.
