Severiano Ballesteros the most charismatic and most popular


British Open organizers are honoring the memory of former champion Seve Ballesteros this week at Royal St. George’s.
Ballesteros, Europe’s most successful golfer, died in May at the age of 54 after a 2 1/2-year battle with a brain tumor. He was the Open champion in 1979, 1984 and 1988.
Players have signed a book of remembrance, which will be given to Ballesteros’s family. Among the other tributes around the Sandwich, England, course are his image on the daily program, an article in the official program, and his silhouette on the grandstands at the 18th green.
