Seve Recovery


It is very distressing to hear that the golfing legend that is Seve Ballesteros will have to tolerate another operation to conquer the nuisance of the brain tumour that has been perceptible recently.
His third operation will see a chance for surgeons to reduce brain swelling as he bids for a steady and speedy recovery. He remains in a serious but stable condition.
The statement from the hospital read that they will try to ‘remove the remains of the tumour’ and hopefully that will be the end of any complications.
Spain’ s Ballesteros famously won 87 titles in his illustrious playing career, including five majors as he was part of the European ‘Golden generation’ that infected the world of golf during the eighties.
In 2007, he retired and lay to rest a prestigious career that saw him be an important figure in the hearts of so many golfers.
He will always be fondly remembered, especially for his leading role in captaining the European team to a breakthrough victory over the US team in 1997 in his homeland at Valderrama.
Legendary golfers have been paying tributes and wishes to wish him back to health.
Four-time European captain Tony Jacklin reinstated that Ballesteros was ‘unique and a one-off’.
Fellow Spaniards Jose Maria Olazabal and Miguel Angel Jimenez have constantly wished their idol a speedy recovery and his impact on golfing tradition.
Ballesteros launched the Seve Trophy in 2000, which complimented the Ryder Cup style into domestic Europe as the match is profoundly between teams from Great Britain and Continental Europe.
The Spaniard announced himself on the circuit in 1976 as he finished second in The Open Championship, he was only a mere 19 years of age, and he has never looked back.
The former Number 1 will not be without support and sympathy as the world of golf holds it breath and hope he makes a full, well-endured recovery.
