Golf's most charismatic champion — a genius shotmaker who inspired a generation of European golf.

Seve Ballesteros's ability to recover from impossible positions made him golf's most compelling figure of the 1980s. His five majors were won with an inventive, improvisational style that no other player has matched. He inspired Europe's Ryder Cup revival.

He won the 1979 British Open despite hitting several shots into a car park during the final round.
