Editor's note: K.J. Choi won his seventh PGA TOUR title on Sunday at the Sony Open. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Choi, who can looks to be on track for a dominating 2008 season.

Wire to wire, huh? I couldn't be happier for you and your family. You are truly a class act in the classiest of sports. With your talent and persistence, I see no reason for you not to make a run at Mr. Woods for the 2nd Annual FedExCup. Good luck throughout the rest of the season. We'll be pullin' for ya. Blaise

Congratulations on your win, K.J. Ever since you first won last year, you've been one of my favorites. All the best for the rest of the season, and I think you have what it takes to win a major this year. Good luck. Jonathan

Congratulations on your first win in 2008 from Forum 2020 members in Korea. I wish you to win 11 more tournaments, one win every month, in 2008. Yoon-Sung

Congrats, Mr. Choi. I love your game. I am a 16-year old golfer from Saskatoon, Canada, who is hoping to one day play pro golf. I have tried to develop my game into one that is similar to yours, and I love to watch you play that. Once again, congratulations and good luck on getting some more wins this year. Coltyn

Simply awesome performance. What a way to win the second tourney of the season. All those rookies in the field must have felt like gnats.
