After a 9 months of recovery from (count ‘em) four surgeries to remove a brain tumor, pro golfer Seve “Balls” Ballesteros made his first public appearance at a press conference in Spain today. With an eager press corps in attendance to hear about Seve’s battle, the five-time major champ went with what he knows, the Links references..

“Nine months ago my life was hanging by a thread. I feel now like I have a mulligan in life.“

“My recovery is like The Open in 1984 when the ball hovered on the lip of the hole. With all my energy I willed the ball to drop in and it did.

I love it. Best of luck with the continued recovery moving forward, you wacky Spaniard.
