    “Kyle you deserve this”. A terrific win.
    A magnificent come back from last week.
    Great job!!!

  • BillyB

    Last week I thought Kyle didn’t choke at all and I wanted so much to have that behind him. and here we are. now last week will help him in the next step – a major perhaps?

  • Frederic Winssinger

    Kyle,

    your talent could never be disputed, the gods of golf conspired against your great play at Torrey, and I felt for your bad fortune. You have now shown your mental mettle as well as your great playing ability in winning this week. Congratulations on coming back walking tall and retrieving your momentum. I look fwd to watching you play on and win a lot more, I am sure.

    F.Winssinger.

  • Morgan

    Kyle,

    I suspect this is the first of many. I hope the determination that got you this win will not be satiated until you have won many titles, along with a few green jackets.

    Well done!

    Morgan

    After watching your honesty and emotion last week, I expected it was just a matter of time before you won a tournament with the talent you have.
    I didn’t know it would happen this quickly, however. Congratulations for putting last week behind you and showing the type of character it takes.

  • Pat

    Way to go.

    GREAT tournament.

  • David Hazelbaker

    Great to see you close the deal this week Kyle. I became a huge Kyle Stanley fan last week. You showed a ton of class and grace in what had to be one of the worst moments of your life. I will be looking to follow your group at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans in a couple months.

  • Mark

    Kyle, there are no words to describe what we witnessed today. I have no doubt your loss at Humana was excruciating! However, the display of humility and professionalism you displayed is nothing short of extraordinary!

    Well done and congratulations on an awesome display of humility and victory! That’s championship golf at its’ finest!

  • Neil

    What an amazing comeback. A fantastic story of resiliency, one that should be heeded by all. Congratulations on a fabulous win!

  • Eden

    I am one of many Washingtonians who spend the winter in AZ but keep track of our outstanding Washington golfers! Can’t tell you how thrilled I was to come in off the course today and watch your amazing win!

  • George

    Kyle, congratulations on your victory! You were my 6th round draft pick in our fantasy league. 2 of the guys, said ” Kyle who?” when I picked you. They definintely know who you are now! Great golf the past two weeks and best of luck to you the rest of the year!

  • Return of the king

    Very well done so strong no words to put toghether such awesome win. About this year for Kyle i think he will be much stronger then Keegan and Simpson last year, reason his driver its just beoynd believe good, and as he has rather sharp putting and short game i seem him as front run for haveing the biggest year in golf year 2012. Ofcourse we have Tiger-Luke-Rorry to name few but i have a feeling Kyle will outdone them all this year.

  • Tom Lenahan

    Congrats Kyle! I was really hoping that this would happen – may you have many more wins

  • Bumper

    Congrats, proud of the turnaround this week. Keep it going.

  • HWI

    After Round 3 the sports news said that Levin smoked himself to the top of the leaderboard, little did they know that on the big day 4 (Sunday) that the Stanlet Steamer was cleaning house and was in winning form!

  • Ralph Gantz

    Congratulations to you and your family for winning the Waste Management Phoenix Open.You played well and wisely and it must feel good to win early on tje PGA tour.

    Sincerely,
    Chad A. Detamore

  • Brooks

  • Jerry Hauck

    CONGRATS!!!

    (You’re my new hero. Period. :>)

  • Rhett Berger, Clemson '89

    Way to go, Kyle! An amazing and wonderful story. Clemson Nation is proud of you!

  • Mike Whisler

    I have played and watched golf for over 50 years and this was one of my top 20 moments for sure – Played Torrey South last wednesday and have never seen it play harder in the 40 years I have played there – Congrats Kyle you will love Augusta – get there early and learn the greens!!

  • sandbelt

    he is so much fitter than when he first came on tour. he certainly looks like a player of the future, great ball striker, long, good putter.

    levin was poor today, his swing didn’t hold up under pressure. if he shoots i over then he wins it. so, in a way, stanley was lucky, but not as lucky as snedeker last week.

    stanley hit a few errant drives today but got away with it and recovered well. it will be interesting to see if he can win when he comes up against the big boys.

    big win by stanley.

  • Dave Almond

    YOU BEAUT!

  • Ozzie

    Kyle what a performance! Showed massive fight and that you can go low when it counts. No Aussies near the top, but it was just as good to watch you bounce back mate. Keep it up and hoping for a big year for you pal!
    OZ

  • Jarrod Osborne

    Well done Kyle! Was really concerned about you mental strength after last weekend’s tough defeat, but obviously you worked through it and very happy you turned it around so soon! On a personal note, I also have you in my golf pool, so we now are both VERY HAPPY! Congrats Kyle and keep it up!

  • Paul G

    Wow, you can’t write this stuff…nobody would believe it! I’m sure I would have been devastated by last week, but that’s why you are where you are and I work at a golf store. You learned from it and already won…what a quick learner…WAY TO GO!

  • J.F.Bales

    Thanks for a great afternoon of golf. You really showed your metal by coming back so strong this week. Looking forward to watching you the rest of the year and of course at The Masters.
    J.F.Bales

  • Ken

    Kyle So thrilled for you afterlast week & last year. When I met you over here last year at Sandwich you were so humble less than 24 hours after being pipped. You deserve this so much & so thrilled for you. Many congratulations from a cold & snowy London. Well done

  • Jolyon Williams

    Congratulations on an outstanding display that, as an Englishman, I would refer to as “bouncebackability”! I lived every shot at Torrey Pines, I can´t imagine how low you must´ve felt after that play-off. As Sir Nick would say, you showed great “intestinal fortitude” in Phoenix; now go for that green jacket!

  • Matt Nereim

    I am a huge Tiger Fan…but I am so happy and proud for you. I knew you would win, you played too well at Torrey to be a fluke. But to come from 8 back the very next week is the stuff of legend. Don’t get complacent like many do after their breakthru. You have a chance to be special! I’ll be rooting for you the whole way! You’re fun to watch, and I normally don’t watch non-Tiger events. Mad props!

  • Ian Burton

    Maaaaaaaaaaate!!!! How good was that, one for the ages. Watched it from down here in OZ, outstanding finish. Wish you all the best well deserved.

  • Ian Hackett

    Congrats on your win, I am happy to see you overcome last week so quickly. Keep it going!

  • Gord

    Kyle great to see how you handled last weeks loss with a great win this week. Tough to come back that quick and win, it just shows what intestinal fortitude you have. Only hope now that Spencer has the same resolve to come back and win, maybe not next week but in the near future. Best of luck at the Masters and the rest of the season.

  • Colin Bagley

    Have never seen a comeback so good, so soon following adversity. I’m sure a Major win can’t be far away – seriously!

  • PhiloPhile

    Now Rors has got another headache called….Kyle!!! Go get em!

  • peter leonard

    kyle,i am stoked for you,the way you behaved in defeat and then victory,congratulations mate,hope to see you down here in australia,we like your style.

  • Mark Cryer

    Hey Kyle, gutsy stuff mate! Holiday Monday here in New Zealand so was glad I got the chance to watch your amazing victory live! After all, you obviously have the goods and it was just a cruel twist of fate the previous week. Good luck for the remainder of the season!

  • tovah11

  • Bob

    Congratulations, Kyle. Sweet justice. You showed a lot of class and character coming back so soon and so strong. Well derserved win. Too bad for Spencer Levin, but as we’ve seen by your example, he’ll learn and get stronger.

  • Steven Nairn

    Fantastic win and richly deserved,just one really unlucky shot last week was the problem but no such worries yesterday!I had you backed at 50/1 so thanks very much!
    Hopefully you’ll pay a visit to ‘our wee country’for the Irish Open in June,Royal Portrush is a beautiful course and a good prep for the British Open.
    Congratulations and enjoy.

    RESPECT!
    From a fan in Cork, Ireland.

  • Chris

    Kyle,

    You won’t remember this and there is no reason that you should, but Gail and I wanted to thank you for the time you spent with us on Wednesday evening prior to the start of the tournament. But more than that, we wanted to thank you for the most thrilling Sunday we have ever witnessed at the Open. You, and we, will remember that day for a long time. Good luck at Riviera!

  • José Manuel Zorrilla

    Kyle appreciated: By the Power of Greyskyle You won the Phoenix Open. Nobody better than you to know that it is the Fenix bird that rose from its ashes. It is a message from Greyskole? I’ma golfer and journalist and I want to see next week in Pebble Beach, where game usually play, the fourth round with Tiger, my other Idol. Congratulations on the terrific final in Scottsdale.Amazing moments !!!

  • RC

    Great win Kyle! You showed a lot of guts to come back from that tough loss to Sneds. It is a lot easier to win coming from back in the pack than playing with the lead as he can attest to.

  • Michael Auerbach MD

    After >50 years of golf, some of which was played at a high level, I have never ever seen composure like you exhibited this weekend. It is especially unique in that you did not choke last week but instead were uncommonly unlucky when your spinning wedge hit the downslope on an otherwise wonderfully executed shot. May you entertain us with your excellence for years to come.

  • Mike Mathes

    Congratulations Kyle. Tenacity, courage, resilience, character and class! You proved you are a true champion by overcoming the adversity of a tough loss to earn success. You proved to all that winning a golf tournament is about more than hitting a golf ball. It’s about heart!

  • Joe White

    Pods- Congrats on an awesome win. Look forward to seeing you & your family at Augusta National. GO TIGERS!

  • wes

    Nice bounce, Kyle. Best of luck in April!

  • Brian whitaker

    Kyle,
    I am simply delighted for you. I have been an admirer of your game for the past couple of years, and actually backed you to win the Brutish Open last year. I also backed tou to win in Phoenix because I thought you were very very unlucky last week.
    Well done and I am certain there will be many more including Majors in the years ahead.
    Best regards,
    Brian Whitaker
    Dublin, Ireland.

  • The Flying Spaghetti Monster

    How novel–to see a full board of congrats to a tournament winner without the typical religious drivel from the Jesus-freak set. Congrats to Kyle on an amazing bounceback win, and congrats to everyone on this forum for talking about golf and steering clear of imaginary beings for a week!

  • Jessica

    I think it says a lot about Kyle having picked himself up so quickly. He played so well last weekend, but it clearly just wasn’t his time yet. It is now, and he deserves it. After meeting Kyle in December, I can honestly say that he is a great guy and that I am so happy for him!

    Mr. Stanley:

    Just a tremendous accomplishment and reminder of why we all love and pull our hair out about golf. Know that your success will be an example that a lot of people will hold onto not only in golf, but in a number of parts of their life

  • Steve F

    Kyle,

    I couldn’t be any happier for you. My 5 year old, who has just started to go the range with me, said last week you were “the coolest golfer ever”. Your class in handling the previous weeks event was great to see and was a great lesson for my son in seeing someone display true emotion and perseverance. I told him everyone will have times when things don’t go their way but you need to keep trying and never give up. The very next week, you accomplish this. Truly fantastic!! Please accept both our congratulations and thanks for teaching my little guy something about patience and persistance. You have a fan for life in my little guy. Thanks again and Congrats!!! See you in the winner circle again soon.

  • Brian Wurts - Canada

    Very reminiscent of Rory’s rebound at the US Open following his stumble at Augusta. You are a great champion – good luck at the Masters!

  • K Kosak

    Forget the Suberbowl. This was the real story in sports this weekend. Truely amazing bounce back. Huge up and down on 16, great scramble on 17, awesome approach at 18. Congrats on an amazing two weeks. Take em down at the match play and good luck at Augusta. Much deserved. When is Dunning website gonna be up? Wanna get some gear.

  • Dr. David Balaishis

    Congratulations on your victory!!! A win is the best prescription I could have given to you. I’ve given you 3 refills…keep on winning. You won $50 for me on my Fantasy Golf Pool.

    Wow, congratulations Kyle – AMAZING comeback after Torrey! I know you realize how many people were pulling for you this weekend and it’s good to see how professionally you handled yourself. I predict many more to come!

  • tom s

    Hey Kyle,Great job on Sunday.I started following you on tour last fall and told some friends to watch for you in the future as it seemed like you had a lot of confidence to go along with your game. Now you made me look pretty smart in their eyes. Keep it going and you will be a great success.

  • John Gaillard

    Great win! All CU Tigers were pulling for you to win!!!

  • MC Len

    Hi Kyle, I am so happy you bounced back so quickly from a huge setback to post your 1st PGA victory. You showed self-belief, took everything that this crazy game threw at you. You totally deserve this victory. Watching you at the interview, you were almost tearing, you came across a modest, down-to-earth kind of man. Keep it that way, Kyle, it will serve you well forever.

  • United Blood Services

    Great win! Great story on your comeback. All of us at United Blood Services want to send our congratulations to you!
