MADRID, Spain - Spanish golf great Seve Ballesteros was released from the hospital Tuesday, more than two months after undergoing brain surgery to remove a malignant tumour.
The 51-year-old Spaniard left the hospital Tuesday morning but will continue to be treated as an outpatient, Madrid's La Paz hospital said in a statement.
Ballesteros, one of Spain's best-known sports personalities, was admitted Oct. 6 after fainting at Madrid's international airport. He had several operations, including a 6 1/2-hour procedure on Oct. 24 to remove the brain tumour and reduce swelling around the brain.
A five-time major champion, Ballesteros is known for spectacular shots and fearless play. He retired in 2007, but has remained active in the sport, designing golf courses.
