Congratulations for a fine effort. You deserve to be on the Ryder Cup Team. Continue your good play, and make this your best year ever. Mike

Congrats on a big win, Kenny, from one Kentuckian to another. Joseph

You are awesome. All of Columbia, Tenn., was pulling for you. Met you on your course two years ago, and you were so nice. This could not happen to a greater golfer, but best of all, to a great person. Good luck the rest of the way. Kenneth

Having a great career and an outstanding year. Keep up the great play. Looking forward to rooting for you and the rest of the members of the 2008 Ryder Cup Team. Cal

Congratulations on a great week and win. It is a real pleasure to watch you play! I enjoy watching your sportsmanship as much as your playing abilities. I wish you continued success! John

Congratulations on a great 2008 and on the wonderful victory this week! I know you have been wanting the "W" this year, and you now have one. See you in Louisville for the Ryder Cup and at Country Creek. Bob

Kenny, it's been a long road back, but congratulations on a great win! You've always had a certain level of class through thick and thin, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your great play at Valhalla this year. Andy

Way to go, Kenny! We're proud of you! Keep the dream of the Ryder Cup alive, and keep on winning! Couldn't happen to a better guy -- you deserve it, and we're behind you! Jim

Kenny, I have followed your career for 20 years including pulling for you the year you nearly won the PGA Championship. Most of all, I have enjoyed your open testimony for the Lord, that you have kept your values and that you support your community in ways they normally could not do for themselves. Congratulations to one of the good guys! Make that Ryder Cup Team, and bring the cup home. Martin

Congrats to you, Kenny. Could not happen to a better person. Oh, by the way, I have been wanting to send one of these for about 4 weeks. Thanks for the opportunity. :-) Scott

I'm from Mike Weir's hometown and was pulling for him, but you played a tremendous last round and totally deserved the win. Congratulations and good luck with your Ryder Cup ambitions in Kentucky. Your presence at Valhalla will swing the momentum to you. Steve

Congratulations on your victory at the Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley, Kenny. You are an inspiration to many golf fans across the country with your stellar ball striking and positive attitude. Keep up the good work. I'm pulling for you in the year's final majors. Kevin

Kenny, I am so happy for you! I have followed you on the TOUR since I started watching golf back in the early 1990's. I respect so much the way you value God and your family. I will continue to root for you every time you tee it up. Your fellow Kentuckian, Roger

Kenny, you are to be congratulated for your third win at the Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley. More importantly, for the demeanor you display always, proving golf is a gentleman's game! I will look for you on the Ryder Cup team this fall. Good luck on the remaining schedule this year. Craig

Congratulations. You certainly deserve this victory! You are a true Christian gentleman. Ronnie

Hi, Kenny. Well done. I felt for you over the last few weeks, coming so close. But you finally got this one. God bless you, Mike

Congrats, Kenny! It is so wonderful to see someone win who has his priorities in order: God, family, golf! God bless you the rest of the year. GO USA! Carl

Congratulations on your great win. It's been a real joy to have watched you play, and you're a credit to the game of golf. As a Franklin native, it's nice to see one of our own out on TOUR. The way you handle yourself on and off the course is a model for how all young people should handle themselves as they play the game. Good luck, and keep putting it to all those young guys. Jack
