Seve Ballesteros is to stay in intensive care as he continues his recovery from brain surgery in Madrid's La Paz hospital, but is continuing to "progress favourably".

The Spaniard underwent a lengthy and complicated procedure one week ago to ease pressure on his brain and remove the remaining tumour tissues.

A statement released by the hospital read: "The patient is stable and his neurological condition continues to progress favourably although he needs to remain in intensive care."

The 51-year-old five-time major winner was diagnosed with a tumour earlier this month after losing consciousness at Madrid airport.

Before his latest surgery he had already undergone two operations - the first to remove part of the tumour and the second to reduce swelling on the brain.
