Fans congratulate Ogilvy

 

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.
Eric Saddington (By the way, remember you missed with the water bomb)

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.
Matt McHugh, St. Louis

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.
Regards, Brett

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.

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.
