McGinley hopes for Seve showing

Paul McGinley said today there was a “75-25” chance of Seve Ballesteros flying to Paris this weekend and being present at a European Tour event for the first time since the discovery of a brain tumour last October.

What used to be called the Seve Trophy is now named the Vivendi Trophy with Seve Ballesteros, and Ireland and Britain captain McGinley said that nothing could lift the match against Continental Europe more than to have the Spanish superstar in attendance.
