Spaniard to undergo fourth round of treatment to fight tumour

Seve Ballesteros has confirmed he will begin a fourth round of chemotherapy this weekend as he continues his battle against a cancerous brain tumour. The five-time major winner revealed that test results from his third stint of treatment permitted him to press ahead with a fourth round. "After completing a third round of chemotherapy, blood tests yesterday confirmed I can go ahead with the fourth round which will start this Saturday," the Spaniard told his personal website on Thursday. "My spirits are still high." The 51-year-old underwent four operations to remove the tumour, following his admission to hospital on October 6 last year after he fainted at Madrid's international airport.
