Seve ahead of the game again - he's discharged
ahead of expections from Madrid Hospital

Severiano Ballesteros has been discharged, ahead of schedule, from La Paz Hospital in Madrid.
Ballesteros, the winner of five major championships and 87 titles around the world, had been admitted to hospital in the second week of October and had the first of four operations after a brain tumour was detected. There had been no previous indication that the 51-year-old Spaniard would be allowed to leave hospital at this time.
“This is wonderful news,” George O’Grady, the executive director of the European Tour, said. “Seve is such an important person to us in terms of what he has done for us, for golf in Europe, indeed for golf around the world, that to hear this unexpected good news a few weeks before Christmas is specially heartening.”
A statement from La Paz hospital read: “The patient Severiano Ballesteros has been discharged by the department of neurosurgery. He will continue to have outpatients treatment in the department of radiotherapy and medical oncology.”
