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.
