The popular Spaniard won the Open three times Seve Ballesteros, one of golf's most gifted and charismatic players, has died after a long battle with cancer.

The 54-year-old passed away surrounded by his family at his home in Pedrena, northern Spain, in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Ballesteros was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2008 after losing consciousness at Madrid Airport.
The five-time major winner had four operations to remove the tumour as well as undergoing chemotherapy.

In a Statement, the Ballesteros family expressed gratitude for the "support and gestures of love" they had received and asked for "respect and privacy at such a painful time".
 
This was terrible to read, though at lleast now he is without pain. He truly was a golf legend, always played with a smile. he will, of course not be remembered for his long hitting or his great short game or even his super putting, it will be for his knack of getting out of difficult situations.
