One of golf’s all-time good guys is looking at making a return to the British Open in 2010, and I for one am hoping he can do it. Seve Ballesteros is hoping that he can participate in next year’s British Open being held at famed St. Andrews. Seve is recovering from brain cancer that has left him partially blinded in his left eye. Ballesteros has won five major titles, including three British Open events.

Ballesteros made the comments in Madrid as he was on hand for the unveiling of the complete field for the upcoming Volvo Match Play Championship. The tournament runs from Oct. 29-Nov.1, and is being held in Spain for the first time. Ballesteros’ charity foundation will be the tournaments official charity.
The 52-year-old has said that his continued treatment is going well, and that his overall health is good. With his intestinal fortitude, and a little luck, there’s a good chance we’ll see Seve teeing it up at St. Andrews in 2010.
