The Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros has died after a deterioration in his condition, having undergone treatment for a brain tumour in 2008.
Ballesteros, who was 54, was a five-times major winner and a much-loved member of the golfing fraternity.
He had been recuperating at his home in northern Spain after a series of operations on the tumour and a course of chemotherapy.
Regarded by many as golf's greatest shot-maker, Ballesteros won 87 titles worldwide, 50 of them on the European Tour.
A winner of three British Opens and two Masters titles, he also helped revive Europe's fortunes in the Ryder Cup.
