With his Deutsche Bank Championship victory, Steve Stricker earned his third win of the 2009 season and took the lead in the FedExCup points standings. Stricker now has six top 10s in 10 starts in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup, including two wins. He is well on his way to a FedExCup title if he can maintain his stellar performance in the final two tournaments. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.COM received from Stricker's fans congratulating him on his latest trophy.

All of us in southern Wisconsin are supporting you in your quest for the FedExCup. Good luck, and thanks for giving us Wisconsinites and our children an example of how to be a respectful athlete and a great person. Shane
