MADRID, Spain — Spanish golf great Seve Ballesteros has been released from the hospital, more than two months after undergoing brain surgery to remove a malignant tumor.

Madrid's La Paz hospital says the 51-year-old Spaniard left the facility Tuesday morning and will continue to be treated as an outpatient.

Ballesteros, one of Spain's best known sports personalities, was admitted on Oct. 6 after fainting at Madrid's international airport.
