Overview
His elder brother Baldomero told of Seve's final moments, as he said farewell one by one to each family member by his deathbed. \"I held his hands, caressed them and thought: 'what these hands have done in the world',\" Baldomero revealed. \"He knew he was dying, and he did it with full presence of mind. He said goodbye to everyone, one-by-one. He grabbed our hands and whispered into our ears. From very close, I told him: 'I love you.' And Seve replied: 'I love you too'. What is leaving us is more than a brother, a son or a father; what is leaving us is glory.\" \"During my whole career I have been one of the best at overcoming obstacles on a golf course,\" he said before the first operation. \"And now, with all my strength, I want to be the best at confronting the most difficult game of my life.\" \"It's a sad day - [I've] lost an inspiration, genius, role model, hero and friend,\" the world's number one player, Lee Westwood, wrote on Twitter yesterday. \"Seve made European golf what it is today. RIP Seve.\"
