The first time I ever heard of him, Golf Digest had his picture on the cover with the title, “Can this Teenager Win the Masters?”

I'm saddened to hear of this today. Seve was quirky and sometimes annoying to his opponents. But, he was the example of competitiveness and honored the game. I hope he didn't suffer in his last days while battling the cancer in his brain.
Player, Shot Maker, CHAMPION

I follow sports, golf closely around the time of the Masters. I hadn’t heard about this.

Not only one of the best golfers ever to pick up a club, but a great ambassador for the game as well.

Ironically, there is an OTC chemical that might have saved his life, which is being researched right now in Canada.
Called DCA (Dichloroacetic Acid), it has shown some tantalizing effects at shrinking and deactivating metastatic tumors of some kinds, usually in combination with chemotherapy (that by itself is seen as futile). The drug itself has very limited side effects, and can cross the “blood-brain barrier”, so may be particularly useful against brain cancers.
The down side is that it is “public domain”, non-patentable, so the drug companies aren’t interested in investing $1b that they can’t earn back to get approval in the US. So research is being financed by private individuals and other benefactors in Canada.
Another down side is more typical, that it does not work on all cancers, especially those of the GI tract. But very few drugs work on all cancers.

A sad day in the golfing world.
RIP Seve.
May God receive his soul.

Rafael Nadal, the world’s #1-ranked men’s tennis player, said he was inspired by Seve’s success to become the best tennis player in the world. Now that’s true inspiration.

Some people just make the mundane world just a little better to live in. Seve Ballesteros was one of them.

RIP Seve. This man singlehandedly revived European golf. He could be prckly, but what geniuses aren’t? Fairways and greens!
