Golf legend Seve Ballesteros has left intensive care but is still undergoing tests having suffered an epileptic fit, says Madrid's La Paz hospital.
The 51-year old Spaniard was admitted after briefly losing consciousness on Monday but said in a statement on Thursday, "I am feeling very well."
The hospital said on Friday he had left intensive care, having been "admitted due Harrington & Karlsson lead Europe ...

"He is in a stable condition," the statement added.
BBC 5 Live's Ashish Sharma in Madrid said: "Tests are still ongoing and at the request of Seve and his family, the hospital will not reveal details of the treatment that he is undergoing or the tests that are taking place."
Ballesteros, a five-time major winner, had moved to reassure fans on Thursday by telling his official website: "I wish to inform that I am feeling very well.
"I am awaiting the results of the 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, who suffered with an arthritic back and knee problems late in his career, retired in 2007.
He won 87 titles during his career, including the Open in 1979, 1984 and 1988 and the Masters in 1980 and 1983.
He also played an inspirational role in the Ryder Cup, winning 20 points from 37 matches, as well as captaining Europe to victory at the Spanish course of Valderrama in 1997.
