One of golf's greats died this evening, Las Vegas time, in Spain of a brain tumour.
Seve was one of the best golfers in the 1980's and 90's.
From Fox News: The Spanish state broadcaster reports golf great Seve Ballesteros has died from complications of a cancerous brain tumor.
The 54-year-old Spanish star had been resting at his home in Pedrena, northern Spain, where he has mostly been since undergoing four operations in late 2008.
The Spanish state broadcaster announced early Saturday that Ballesteros was dead.
Ballesteros won three British Open titles and two Masters with a game marked by spectacular improvisational play. One of the best-known personalities in Spain and the golfing world, he also won 50 times on the European Tour and is widely credited with transforming European golf.

I've watched him many times on TV and he was always a classy golfer. He joined the PGA tour in 1976 and he played with style and grace.
He was the first European golfer to win the Masters and is a member of the golfing hall of fame.
He will be missed by the golfing community and will be remembered by one of the best golfers of all times.
R.I.P Seve. We'll miss you.
