"You know he was a hero of mine. I grew up watching him play this flamboyant swashbuckling style of golf. And he became very much of an inspiration. He was one of the first people to take the European game over to the Americans and show them what we could do."

"He lit up the gallery, he lit up the world. He had an infectious smile. And so I think it's a time for looking back at the good times for Seve, because there were actually great times. He was a wonderful golfer and I know laterally he had chronic back trouble, before he had this brain tumour, which probably prevented him playing great golf in his 40's, but from the late 70's to the late 80's he was the best player in the world, simple as that."

STORYLINE
Tributes poured in from across the globe on Saturday after the Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros, a five time major winner whose passion and gift for imaginative shot-making invigorated European golf, died from complications of a cancerous brain tumour at the age of 54.
A statement on Ballesteros' website on Saturday said the golfer died in the early hours of Saturday, surrounded by his family at his home in Pedrena, in northern Spain.
Ballesteros fainted at Madrid's international airport while waiting to board a flight to Germany on 6 October, 2008 and was subsequently diagnosed with the tumour.
He underwent four operations and, after leaving hospital, his treatment continued with chemotherapy.
Ballesteros won a record 50 times on the European tour, first as a 19-year-old in the Dutch Open, his final victory when he was 38 at the 1995 Peugeot Open in his native Spain.
That also was his last year playing in the Ryder Cup, where he had a 20-12-5 record in eight appearances.
He was captain in 1997 when Europe won at Valderrama.
"He was a hero of mine," said Lee Westwood, currently the world number one. "He was one of the first people to take the European game to the Americans and show them what we could do."
That's a sentiment shared by George O'Grady, the European Tour chief executive.
"He was the inspiration behind the growth of the European Tour. I think together with Tony Jacklin here in England I think they changed the face of the Ryder Cup. They gave belief to players."
Bernard Gallacher, who captained Ballesteros in three Ryder Cups between 1991 and 1995, said Seve "lit up the gallery, he lit up the world. He had an infectious smile."
Ballesteros also won three British Open titles and two Masters.
Gallacher said he may have won even more if not for the chronic back injuries that cut short his career.
"From the late 70's to the late 80's he was the best player in the world, simple as that," he told UK broadcaster Sky.
Ballesteros and his wife Carmen divorced in 2004. They had three children together.
The funeral will be held Wednesday in Pedrena with family and intimate friends only attending the subsequent wake.
Three days of official mourning would be held in Cantabria, according to regional government head Miguel Angel Revilla.
