Ballesteros Says He's Playing Golf Again

Seve Ballesteros' recovery from multiple surgeries to remove a brain tumor continued on Tuesday with his first live interview since the surgeries. Ballesteros made his first public appearance earlier in the week, watching a soccer match in Madrid. On Tuesday, he appeared on a local radio station.

And Ballesteros - who is still undergoing chemotherapy - told the questioner that he is "already 90-percent" recovered, according to Reuters. And that he's already playing a little golf again:

"Now I am perfect, I can do any kind of sport, running, swimming, rowing and I am also hitting some short golf shots. I suffered like a dog but the fact that I was a professional sportsman and used to competing and fighting helped me."

Sounds like the old Seve.
