Don’t pity me, I’ve had so much luck, says Seve

SEVE BALLESTEROS has revealed that treatment for his brain tumour has been tough – but does not want sympathy, insisting: “I’ve had so much luck.”

The three-times Open champion has undergone surgery and chemotherapy after collapsing with a brain tumour last year.

He said: “Patience has never been my strongest point and to spend 22 days in intensive care and 72 days in one room, you need tremendous patience.
