Seve Ballesteros

Seve Ballesteros remains in intensive care although reports on his health suggest a favourable reaction to surgery on his brain tumour.  

The 51-year-old underwent a third operation last Friday to reduce brain swelling.

"(He) is stable and his neurological condition continues to progress favourably but he needs to remain in intensive care," a statement said.

However, the Spaniard’s improvement will be a boost to the sport that has largely been on hold in the last few weeks – especially at Valderrama where rain has suspended play on the course where captain Seve led Europe to a famous Ryder Cup victory in 1997.
