Description
SEVERIANO BALLESTEROS SOTA was born in the village of Pedreña, Cantabria, Spain, on 9 April 1957. He learned the game of golf while playing on the beaches near his home, during the hours he was supposed to be in school, mainly using a 3-iron given to him by his older brother Manuel when he was eight years old. ‘Seve’ turned professional in March 1974 at the age of 16 and gained attention in the golfing world when he burst onto the international scene as a swashbuckling 19 year old with a second-place finish in 1976 ‘Open Championship’ at Royal Birkdale Golf Club. He won his first Open Championship in 1979 with a closing 70, a round in which he famously hit his tee shot into a car park on the 16th hole yet still made a birdie. He went on to win 90 international tournaments in his career which included ‘The Open Championship’ three times and ‘The Masters Tournament’ twice. continued..
