SEVE BALLESTEROS DIES AT HOME, AGED 54


(Reuters) - Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros has died after a deterioration in his condition, having undergone treatment for a brain tumour in 2008, the Spanish television channel TVE said today.
Ballesteros, 54, a five-times major winner, had been recuperating at his home in northern Spain after four operations on the tumour and a course of chemotherapy.
Regarded by many as golf's greatest shot-maker, Ballesteros won 87 titles worldwide, 50 of them on the European Tour.
A winner of three Opens and two Masters titles, he also helped revive Europe's fortunes in the biennial Ryder Cup team competition.
