AUGUSTA, Ga. – Wearing blue and white – Seve’s colors – in honor of the late Spaniard, Jose Maria Olazabal gave Ballesteros, who died 10 years ago and would’ve turned 64 on Friday, a nice birthday gift.
At 55 years old, Olazabal didn’t just make his first cut at the Masters Tournament since 2014, the two-time green-jacket winner made his first worldwide cut since March 2015.
“I know that making the cut is not such an extraordinary thing,” Olazabal said, “but I want to dedicate this accomplishment to him and all those people who have left us over the last year.
