Congratulations on your first win. Look forward to meeting you when you come up to Canada. Chris

Who is that good looking guy on your bag? lol. Wow, dude, the Henley family is proud of you and Kip. Kip said when he first started on your bag, "this dude has all the right tools to be a winner out here."

Totally cool that we were on your team for your first win. We all cheer for you guys every week and know there was not a single player more deserving. Here's to many more wins. Congratulations. Lindy

Congratulations, Brian. We are sooo proud of you. Love to you and your girls! Miki & Bill

Brian, I don't think you will read this, but congrats on your win! I have played Bettinardis since 1999 and am glad your win was with one. My wife and I were pulling for you this week, and you got it done. Best of luck. Rob

Great Job!!! Time to celebrate. Tell Kim and the kids we all said hi. Jeb

I have been following you for two years now, and I knew you would get one soon. Congrats. Go out there and win next week too. You're one of my heros, man. Kyle

Hi Brian. Way to go!!! The TOUR is so tough these days; there are so many good players around the world. I always love it when a solid player like yourself breaks through. Keep believing in yourself, and keep pushing! I hope there's more to follow. And no matter what, never forget what an accomplishment it is to be one of the top 200 in the world at something. Very few of us can say that! Jim

Congratulations, Brian! We knew you could do it. You played great, and it was fun for us to watch your first win. Andy & Sheri

Brian, what a great day for you and your family. I spoke to the folks in Marianna, and we were all holding our breath watching the internet. We are very proud of all the hard work you have done to get to this point. I really feel good about your chances at The Masters. I have had that feeling for a long time just waiting for you to get a chance to compete. All my best to you, Kim and the girls. Carroll

Brian, congratulations on your 1st PGA TOUR win! I remember you from years past when you played in the Southwest Kansas Pro-Am in Garden City, Kan. I was fortunate to have been on your Pro-Am team and still remember how you treated us. You were a class act. Again, congratulations and continued success! Dean

Congratulations, Brian! You've come a long way from the practice range at Ft. Rucker Golf Course in Alabama. I couldn't be happier for you and your family! I go out to PGATOUR.com every week to see if you played and how you did. May this be the first of many more wins to come. Dave

WELL DONE, BRIAN!! Your first TOUR win, I was looking at your profile, and I was amazed to find out it was your first win. I had to double-check, and I'm still not convinced. Anyway, if it was your first victory or not, really, really well done. Hopefully, now that you've got that first win out of the way you can win more seeing as you now know how to win. Good luck in the future. Eddie

Way to go Brian!! You make the Gator Nation proud!! Keep up the great play. Dan

Hi Brian. I would just like to congratulate you on your win this weekend. You have been inspirational to me over the last five or so years as I began to hit a ball for the first time and attempted to gain any sort of skill people such as yourself possess. It is lovely seeing (with all due respect) a more understated player like you pick up this fabulous trophy. You have been my favorite player on the TOUR, and I do hope I can enjoy many more years of watching you play to such a high standard. All the best, and congratulations. Seth

Great job, Brian!! I knew you'd win eventually ever since I saw you putt in person at the Ritz. My wife and I watched it on TV and felt great for you, Kimberly and your whole family. Keep it up. How about another one in the US? We'll see you at Bay Hill. Mike

CONGRATULATIONS! All your hard works shows. God bless. Linda

Brian, we at Silver Wings Golf Course (formerly Ft. Rucker Golf Course) send you our congratulations on you first PGA TOUR win. You have always had our support. Harry

Brian, congrats on your first TOUR win. Saw you get close in person a few years back at Heron Bay. Rooted for you then; glad to see you get a trophy today. Keep up the great playin'. Scott

I've been pulling and praying for you for years. I am so happy and proud of you. I'm from Enterprise, Ala. Riley
