Sad news to report on golf legend Seve Ballesteros: The end may be near in his battle with brain cancer. On his website (seveballesteros.com) today appears this message:
The Ballesteros family informs that Seve's neurological condition has suffered a severe deterioration.

The family will inform accordingly about any change in his health condition and takes this opportunity of thanking everyone for the support that both Seve and his own family have been receiving during all this time.

Ballesteros was diagnosed with a brain tumor in October 2008 and has undergone multiple surgeries and continuing treatment since then.
