 Seve
Ballesteros
16.11 Seve Ballesteros:
Sier ja til å bli
æresmedlem
Seve Ballesteros har satt dype spor etter seg i golfhistorien. Da han fikk
hjernesvulst for et års tid siden, så det mørkt ut, men Seve er sterk og er
kommet seg fint etter noen omfattende operasjoner i hodet sitt.
Her er en melding fra R&A:
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews is pleased to announce that
Severiano Ballesteros has accepted its invitation to become an Honorary Member.
Severiano Ballesteros first caught the attention of the golfing public when, as
a 19-year-old, he finished in a tie for second place with Jack Nicklaus at the
1976 Open Championship, held at Royal Birkdale. He then went on to win five
Major Championships between the years of 1979 and 1988, adding two Green
Jackets to his haul of three Claret Jugs.
His three Open Championship victories came in 1979 and 1988 at Royal Lytham and
St Annes, and in 1984 at St Andrews. His legendary fist pump, a reaction to
holing the birdie putt on the final hole of the Old Course to claim his second
Claret Jug, became famous the world over and is now used as a logo for his
group of companies.
"I am greatly honoured to accept Honorary Membership of The Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St Andrews," he said. "I have had, perhaps, the outstanding moment
of my career at St Andrews and the town will always retain a very special place
close to my heart. I sincerely hope that I will be able to come back next year
and be part of the 150th Anniversary of The Open Championship."
Ballesteros competed for Europe in eight Ryder Cups and Captained the European
team to victory at Valderrama in 1997. He was also instrumental in creating the
biennial Seve Trophy match, now called 'the Vivendi Trophy with Severiano
Ballesteros', between teams representing Great Britain and Ireland and
Continental Europe. He was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1999.
Earlier this year, Ballesteros launched the Seve Ballesteros Foundation, an
organisation which aims to aid research into cancer, particularly brain tumours.
Simultaneously, the Foundation also assists young, underprivileged golfers to
develop their golfing careers.
Severiano Ballesteros joins an illustrious list of Honorary Members of the
Club:
His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh KG, KT.
His Royal Highness The Duke of York KG, KCVO, ADC.
His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent KG, GCMG, GCVO.
