Seve Ballesteros is on for the hardest game in his life. After having a full career in golf, the 51-year-old champion will battle against a severe brain ailment.
Ballesteros was admitted to the hospital last Monday after he lost consciousness. Recently, it was formally announced and confirmed that he is suffering from a brain tumor. He was scheduled to undergo biopsy on October 14, Tuesday. After he personally talked to his wife and children about his disease, he now openly expressed his condition to the public. As of today, there are no further details if the mass is benign or malignant.
Ballesteros claimed that throughout his career he gave his best to overcome challenges on the golf course. He is popular in his swashbuckling style and being able to make a shot from almost any angle. His exceptional skills in playing golf earned him the title as the “Car Park Champion” during the British Open in 1979. This was the time when a native from Pedrena found a green at the parking lot near the 16th fairway of the Royal Lytham and Saint Anne’s. The incident paved the way to his first major title.
Being the five time major winner he is now into the greatest challenge off course. Jose Maria Olazabal, a former Ryder Cup partner, visited Seve and claimed that his partner seem to be in good physical shape but is saddened with his condition.
