Dear Padraig, I would like to congratulate you on your PGA Championship win. You've always been one of my favorites, and I'll always root for you and wish you the best! Keep on winning and win the FedExCup! Joey

Well done, Padraig. You are a true champion and a great example to all Irish sports men/women and the country as a whole. Enjoy your well- deserved victory. May there be more to come. Noel

Congratulations, Padraig, from everyone here in Fermoy Golf Club, County Cork. The Cork hurlers may have lost today, but we claim you as a great Corkman. Well done. Brilliant. Niall

Congratulations Padraig!!! Very well played. I think you're in a great position to win the FedExCup. GO PADRAIG!!! A fan from Romania, Adrian

Well done. Enjoy it. You deserve it. You have done Ireland proud. Dermot

Padraig, congratulations!!! When I met you at Baltusrol at the 2005 PGA Championship during a practice round, you took your green sharpie out and did not leave until every fan had an autograph starting with the kids first. That is when I became a fan of yours. Your 3 majors now in 2 years is a great accomplishment, and the sky is the limit. You play the game with class and sportsmanship the way it is suppose to be played! Cheers. Amish

Padraig, another exhausting tournament playing every shot with you. More importantly, another well-deserved major achievement for you. Always knew you had it in you having followed you at various Irish tournaments since you turned professional. Be proud, we are. Sincere congratulations. Bring on the Ryder Cup. Margaret & Will

Congratulations from Canada. You have taken your game to another level. We need golfers like you with a strong focus and competitive spirit to keep things more competitive out there. I am not sure even Tiger would have made those last three putts. Good luck in your pursuit of the FedEx pot of gold. So far you are most deserving. Good luck but take it easy on us North Americans at the Ryder Cup. Dave

Dear Padraig, from Canada I send you my hearty congratulations. I have been following you the past few years, and you have been my favorite in 2008. We have enjoyed your 'nature' and humbleness that you show us all. Your talent is only surpassed by your determination and approach to the game. You are a tremendous competitor. Congratulations to you and your family and for making this golf season a thrill to watch on television. Steve

Congratulations, Paddy! I knew you would win another major, but I didn't know it would come after defending your Open title! Way to go. It just goes to show how much of talented a player you are and how hard work and patience has paid off for you. I foresee many more wins for you in the future. And who knows, maybe there's a Paddy Slam out there, too! Good luck in your future tournaments. I'll be there supporting you! I've always believed in you and always will! Go get 'em!! Sandra

Congratulations for the fantastic win! Patience has its virtue. You stay under the radar and come in like a Stealth bomber at the end. The luck of the Irish is definitely with you. May the sun always be at your back and your line always true. Pops

There are over 5 million words in the English language and yet I cannot find one that fully expresses my joy and pleasure at your success in the 90th. You have done yourself and your country proud and with such great aplomb and class, too. I wish you continued success in your chosen career. I look forward to seeing you in the Ryder Cup next month. Well done. Ron

Paddy, you played and acted the true champion you have proven to be. The intense focus and belief in yourself and your game was great to see in your face. Thanks for that and for being Irish. Ricky

Way to go, Padraig. That was very inspirational to watch. You're putter was lights out again. I think a green jacket is in your future, Bud. Keep it up. CHEERS! Dan

Congratulations. Your ten years of hard work on your swing and your never-give-up attitude has paid off again. You are such an Irish gentlemen in your triumph. Joe

One can understand why the game of golf is so good, with CHAMPIONS like you. Sean

Padraig, congrats on the HUGE win! You are a joy to watch on the golf course. You seem really mellow and down to earth off the course. Keep up the good work. Let's see if you can make a Padraig-Slam (4 in a row)!!!! Isaac

It was a great day for the Irish Padraig! I live near Oakland Hills and after the match, I hustled home to put up the Irish Tri-Color underneath Old Glory. Great win! You are a gentleman and a classy winner. We are proud to be your fans. The MacLeans

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Enough said! Lee
