Phil Mickelson won his first World Golf Championships title on Sunday at the CA Championship, where he held off Nick Watney to take the title by one stroke. It was the 36th career victory for Mickelson, who moved up to second in FedExCup points and back to No. 2 in the world with the win. Here are some of the e-mails PGATOUR.COM received from Mickelson's fans congratulating him on his success.

Phil, great job out there this weekend. Keep it up, and win the FedExCup this year and at least one major. A staunch fan, Don

Great win, Phil! Now take this form into Augusta, and win your third green jacket. Paul

Phil Mickelson had never won at Doral before his victory Sunday.

Finally, you're getting your due. Just pure talent, and an excellent win. Go get 'em in 2009, Phil. Congratulations! Van

Phil, nice win. Thanks for a fun weekend of watching world-class golf. It was much better than listening to the economic news. Joel

Hi, Phil! Congratulations on a great victory at the CA Championship. I'm a big fan of yours, and I think you deserved to win. Regards, Kristian

Congratulations. I am very happy that you won despite your dehydration. Do take care. Best of luck in Augusta. Linda

What a great job fighting through not feeling well and being someone who just would NOT go away. Congrats!!! Paul

Congrats, Phil, on another great win! Feel better and get ready for Augusta. Given how excited I am, I can't imagine what you must be feeling! All the best to you and the family. Your No. 1 fan, Bryan

Great win today, Phil. You are now very close to No. 1. I hope you get there because you are a great ambassador for the game of golf. Daniel

I am so glad you won. As a left-handed player, I am always pulling for you. I enjoyed your book (One Magical Sunday) and love the game. Good luck at the Masters and all the majors. Phil

Way to go, Phil. All in all, you worked it out! Your swing off the tee was very impressive, and your short game was great. Looking forward to watching more of you this year. Thank you for making this event wonderful. Take care. Stacey

Phil, I'm sure you can't possibly read all of these e-mails, but in case you do, I want to thank you for not only being an incredible player (my all-time favorite); but more importantly, a fantastic example for our youth. You're always polite to fans and spectators even during a fierce battle on the course. You're the best. John

Ben Hogan was my favorite PGA golfer when I took up golf in 1950. You are No. 1 with me nearly 60 years later. Hank

Way to go, Phil! It was so much fun to watch your incredible shots and play all weekend. I hope this is the beginning of a victorious '09 golf season for you. Now get some rest, and feel better. Barb

Congratulations, Phil, on a great win. There could not be a more deserving champion in my estimation. You are a credit to the game of golf, and to the game of life. You have my admiration. Bill

Congrats, Lefty! You played a heck of a tournament and deserved this win! I love watching you play, and your swing is looking better than ever! LEFTIES RULE!!! Bret

Phil, I'm one of your biggest fans. Way to finish today even though you weren't 100% physically. I'm a bigger fan of your choice to be a husband and father first. Timothy

Hey, Phil, congrats on your win at Doral. Very impressive how you battled through a couple of grueling days of being under the weather. Your game was terrific all week against one the toughest fields assembled. Wishing you continued success, and best wishes to you and your family. Jamie

Phil, great job, great win, great entertainment. Art

Your greatest round on a Sunday no question. That should scare the Sunday ghosts away permanently. You and Nick were terrific together. Congrats to you both. Peter
