Catching a glimpse of Seve Ballesteros's magic

 
The news about Seve Ballesteros and his brain tumor is like getting whacked with your own golf ball after is ricochets off a tree. It's unexpected, and it hurts. Every time I read his age in one of the AP stories I am surprised again: He's only 51. I'm 48. When I was taking up the game, in the mid-1970s, Seve was already on the world stage, carrying European golf for a decade and then some. It's no wonder he's had such a bad back. (link)
