Seve wants glory back

Seve Ballesteros, the famous golfer, also named the Spaniard, is still wants to have his 18th fairway at St. Andrews. “The place is a very special place”, he said. Even the cancer in his brain is put into the second place.

Ballesteros, who continues to recover from the cancer that has left him nearly blind in his left eye, said Wednesday he hopes to show up and play one round at the major next year. It was on the Old Course that he won the 1984 British Open.

"It's still a long way before we can make any decisions," Ballesteros said. "I would like to show up at St. Andrews this coming year because St. Andrews is a very special place."

The Spaniard spoke briefly to reporters in an appearance to promote the upcoming Volvo Match Play Championship, which he will attend when it is played in Spain for the first time Oct. 29-Nov. 1. Ballesteros' charity is linked to the event.

Ballesteros described his recovery as going "under par" after undergoing numerous operations over the last year to remove a malignant tumor.

He has even managed some golf, saying he played one round with his son Javier. He ended up losing euro6 in that duel, and said he is desperate to win it back.

"That's one of my motivations," Ballesteros said.
