Dec 11 Seveback

Seve Ballesteros is heading back to pro golf and will play in the Masters and British Open next year.

The five-time major winner said yesterday that he also wants to join the Champions Tour in the United States when he turns 50 in April.

“My plan is to continue playing for another four or five years,” Ballesteros said.

The Spaniard has had chronic back trouble in recent years. He last played in July at the British Open. He also played at the Madrid Open in October 2005 after a two-year absence from tournament golf.
