Seve Ballesteros says he is feeling well after being admitted to a Madrid hospital earlier this week. The five-time major winner was taken to the La Paz hospital after fainting on Monday.

The Spaniard, who retired from competitive golf soon after his 50th birthday last summer, has undergone a series of tests and remains under observation.

The 51-year-old gave an update on his condition in a message posted on his personal website.

"I wish to inform that I am feeling very well," Ballesteros wrote. "I am awaiting the results of the clinical tests that I have been going through. I wish to personally thank all of those who are concerned about my health condition.

"I want you to know they make me feel very good and I feel greatly supported by all of you."

Ballesteros is reportedly due to be discharged tomorrow.
