Seve 'on right track' after surgery

Seve Ballesteros' recovery from a brain tumour is on the "right track" following a second round of chemotherapy.

The five-time major winner, writing on his personal website, revealed he had "tolerated" the latest round of treatment and is awaiting the results of medical tests to determine when he should return to hospital for a check-up.

"Despite a slow recovery I am on the right track and my spirit and determination are still unshakeable," the 51-year-old added on www.seveballesteros.com.

He added: "I wish the weather improves, so I can leave the house and go back to a normal life, which in the end is what I really want."

Ballesteros underwent four operations to remove the tumour following his admission to hospital in October after fainting at Madrid airport.

He returned to his home in Bilbao after being released from Madrid's La Paz hospital on December 9.
