Editor's Note: D.J. Trahan won his first PGA TOUR title at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic on Sunday. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Trahan, who gets to head to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship in 2007. Congratulations on your first PGA TOUR victory Baby Brother! Love, Kim Trahan Congratulations D.J.-the first will always be the sweetest. Hope you have many more and when that first major comes, and it will, I will be rooting for you. Lots of luck from Ohio! Norman Beeler D.J., Congrats! As a fellow Clemson grad I closely follow your play as well as Lucas, Charles, John, and Danny as Clemson golfers. Being in Japan, PGATOUR.com is great to keep track of your play. Again, Congrats! Go Tigers! David Congratulations D.J. It's always special to see our family name on top. I've been following your young career for the past three years now. Every weekend I look you up on PGATOUR.com, hoping that you could line up a few top 10s to make sure that you stay in the top 125. I enjoy playing golf myself but I'm just an 18 handicap. That's ok, considering that I only get to play 10 to 12 rounds a season. My 4-year-old son James has taken a liking to the game also. His favorite player is Tiger but he did notice that you have the same cap (Nike) as Tiger. Keep it up D.J., I know that this is just one of many other wins for you on the TOUR. Wishing you all the best, Marc Trahan Hi D.J. -- Just wanted to say congratulations! Great patience and great playing! We all knew it was only a matter of time. I also send congrats from all of your supporters on Hilton Head Island. Uncle Tom (Jeff's dad) called me at least five times before the tournament was over to give me an update and to make sure I was following you on the Internet. You definitely got Hilton Head fired up! Everyone is so happy for you and they all send their love and support. Go Red Sox! Reilley Rankin Of course you won! As your godmother would say, please...we've seen you do it in flip-flops! Auntie Paula Dear D.J., I think you did awesome in the tournament this week. I followed you part of Saturday and all day Sunday. I think it rocks that you just won your first tournament. Wonderful Job, Mary Frances, Age 8 in Madison, Miss. Congrats D.J. I already sent an e-mail to John Seketa to recognize this victory at a Clemson football game in November. Great work. Tim Bourret DJ -- Congratulations! You paid your dues and stayed the course. Enjoy your accomplishment. As my Dad used to say take this victory and "grow" don't "swell". Good luck in the remainder of the season. Bill Fruetel D.J., Awesome! I remember you when you were at Harbour Town with your Dad. I followed your career all through Clemson. Since you joined the PGA TOUR I have been waiting for this day. Congratulations! What an incredible way to get your first win. Give my best to your dad. George Whitney Bluffton, SC D.J., Congratulations on your well-earned, hard-fought victory! The list of Clemson Tigers that have tasted PGA TOUR victory continues to grow. Job well done! See you around the neighborhood, Jeff Fort Ok D.J., Free Duke's Barbecue for life... Congrats! Terry O'Quinn D.J.- I am so proud to see you get your first win. You have come such a long way from your days as a 10-year-old at Harbour Town, kicking everyone's butt even then. Your Dad must be so proud. Congratulations on your first TOUR win, and I'm sure there will be many more. Mike Salinetti I've known both D.J. and his father, Don (The Swing Surgeon), for a number of years. A great win for one of golf's great families. Phil Talamonti D.J. Congratulations on the first of many PGA TOUR wins. I can still see you at the Links as the cart boy and coming in to Fairway Ford to hit your old man up for money. God Bless You. Bill Congrats to D.J. Trahan, even though you are a former Clemson guy! But, you're one of our South Carolina guys, thus we pull for you too. So, continued best wishes to you and all the Clemson and Carolina men on tour! Robert Copeland Congratulations D.J.! From your friends at the Crazy Crab restaurant in Harbour Town at Hilton Head Island, Chuck Larson Congrats on your win D.J. I am really happy for you. It has been a long time coming. I got to meet your dad at Birkdale in Lake Norman about a business deal a few months ago and he said you were real close to winning. Guess he was right! Anyway, great job on the win. Good luck the rest of the season, see you in Greensboro. Also, get ready for Hawaii in January. From Golf USA in Asheboro, N.C., Rob Elliott
D.J. way to go young man. It is terrific to see you join an elite list
of Clemson Tiger golfers that have won a PGA TOUR event. Having guys
