Ballesteros died in the Spanish fishing town where he was born,\u00a0Pedrena.<\/p>\r\n
His cancer was discovered after he became dizzy, and\u00a0then\u00a0unconscious\u00a0for a short period, while in a Madrid airport in October 2008. \u00a0Ballesteros had four operations to cut out his\u00a0malignant brain tumor.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0He was handsome, and had a dramatic career, even if it was brief. He stunned when, at age 22, he won the 1979 British Open. He did it “with a birdie he crafted on No. 16 despite teeing off into a temporary parking lot, where the ball landed 2 feet from a car,” according to The Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\r\n
