Woods has Seve regret ahead of latest comeback

TIGER WOODS wishes he could have taken on Seve Ballesteros in his prime, but he did at least get to play with him.

Returning to golf this week for the first time since The Masters — knee and Achilles problems prevented him hitting a single shot for almost a month — Woods has recalled the practice round he had with Ballesteros at Augusta some years ago.

“Just to hear him explain how to hit shots around there — it was just artful,” said the former world number one of the Spaniard, whose funeral took place yesterday.
