I always get emotional when I see videos of the grand senior, Seve. He’s my sporting idol. The way he played golf with that cavalier attitude is why everyone loved him. He was so wayward at times but still won tournaments, including majors, because he went for it. His short game was the best ever imo, including Phil. As Nick Price said, most pros have 100 ways to shoot 68. Seve had 1000 ways. His depth of skill was unmatched when he was in his pomp. That win at the 89 open-his final round was the best his great rival Faldo ever saw apparently. Not to mention his match play dominance at Wentworth and The Ryder Cup. He was amazing and when I have a club in my hand he always pops in my head. Via con Dios Seve

RIP Seve ... such charisma! A talented golfer who was adored around the world and certainly here in the UK.. not many foreign nationals leave their mark with the British people, only the very special ones do and Seve was certainly that. My dad's favourite golfer of all time (rip dad) 🙏

[vascoespañol]

It is remarkable how much Seve wa, s and still is, loved in the UK. They adore him.

When Seve smiled, the whole world smiled, when Seve frowned we all looked at our feet.

It doesn’t matter who there is to watch, no one can replace Seve.

[nyecdxt]

Man that first chip was daunting as hell. Seve finessed that shot like I've never seen. What a brilliant golf shot ! RIP to the quintessential escape artist !

[stevelee]

What a man, what a player. His mark on The Ryder Cup will never diminish.

[cmalc]

Seve's bump and run between the bunkers will be remembered forever. RIP Seve.

[nwtraveler]

He possessed a short game others can only dream about. The most amazing hands I’ve ever seen.

Managed to bump into Seve at the 2005 Open. Gave me his autograph and chatted or a few minutes. A special memory.

[craigmillard]

What a wonderful man seve was. Sorely missed from the game of golf.

[martinlehmann]

Still my sporting idol along with Johan Cruyff the football player. I was lucky enough to watch Seve play from very close by during an exhibition match at golfclub De Pan in The Netherlands. I'll never forget the way he hit his short irons and wedge shots. Pure magic, grace and beauty.

[markhayward]

Seve Ballesteros' greatest skill as a golfer was one that cannot be taught: imagination. Quite simply, he was able to see and execute shots that others didn't and couldn't!

[apaul]

Always such a pleasant character on the golf course. A great golfer, without a doubt one of the best of all time. So sad to loose him much too early. R.I.P Seve

[hordesofchaosify]

Dont seem to have golfers like him, some form of character that you love and inspires to make you want play, we seem to lack that pure passion that him and others had back then
