Seve Ballesteros is dreaming of opening up a golf course near his home in northern Spain as he fights his way back to normality following a lengthy battle with a cancerous brain tumour. “My first hope is to get back to normal,” Ballesteros said in the second part of an interview with Spanish sport daily Marca. “After that, a course in Santander. That has been my dream for a long time.” The interview is the first Ballesteros has given since he was diagnosed with a malignant tumour on the right side of his brain nearly six months ago. In the first part published Tuesday, Ballesteros called his battle against cancer “the most important shot of my life” and said he was “fighting to win my sixth major.”
