Editor’s note: Geoff Ogilvy picked up his second career victory Sunday at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.com received congratulating Ogilvy, who now gets to head to Hawaii for the season-opening Mercedes Championships in 2007. Watch highlights of Ogilvy's victory.
Hi Geoff! Mate, I have to say congratulations! I don't know if you'll
remember me but I grew up with you and Sally-Anne and went to school
with you at Beaumaris North Primary. You were always a remarkable
sportsman at athletics and footy. I always follow you on the PGA TOUR
from QLD in Australia and have always had faith that you would soon be
one of the best golfers in the world. I hope to catch up for a beer with
you soon like we used to at the Edgewater Hotel in Mentone and celebrate
your win. I hope you play in most of the events on the Australian PGA
Tour this next summer so I can catch up with you and I'll try and get
over to the states one year to watch you hopefully win a Green Jacket!
Keep it going dude! Best wishes for you and Juli and for the rest of the
year and in all four majors!
To the little kid who threw a water bomb at me at little athletics
meeting some twenty years ago == well done. It was a great performance
and I look forward to seeing you in person around Christmas this year.
As a teacher in Melbourne, I remember taking a school group of
13-year-old boys to play golf on Wednesday 'sports' afternoons. Geoff
wouldn't go back with the rest of us, he just kept going until it was
too dark to play. Even back then we knew that this guy was going to be
good! A fantastic result today which is thoroughly well deserved! All
the best!
Geoff, congrats on a huge win! My brother and I played with you in the
FedEx Pro-Am in Memphis in 2004. Wishing you luck the rest of the season.
I always thought that you would break through some day == glad you made
it. Now go and do what I think that you were always capable of … Win a
major! Good luck and warmest congrats from Malaysia.
Geoff, congratulations on a great win. As an Aussie who follows the PGA
TOUR pretty closely it's great to see so many of you guys doing well.
You guts it out in several matches this week and all of Australia is
proud of your achievement. You should move on to bigger and better
things in the near future. With your talent the sky is the limit.
You bloody rippa Geoff! As an Aussie hacker who loves the game, I shared
your joy. Keep believing in yourself and your natural talent will see
you challenge for a major. Congratulations from Melbourne (Riversdale GC) golfers. A truly great effort. Keep it up.
I am from Dimmitt, Texas (I went to church with your wife and her family
when she was a little girl). We are watching and rooting for you every
week. Congratulations!
Geoff, congratulations on a fantastic win. Now I'll have to update the
history of Victoria Golf Club. All good wishes for the rest of the year.
Oggie Oggie Oggie - Oi Oi Oi! A great win by a great Aussie! |
