Juan Postigo taking inspiration from Seve as he seeks maiden G4D Tour win

Juan Postigo will be looking for inspiration from the late, great Seve Ballesteros when he goes in search of a first G4D Tour title at the G4D @ Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters.

The 26-year-old, who was born without much of his right leg and no knee, comes from the same part of Spain as Ballesteros and next week's venue Real Club Valderrama will always be synonymous with the 50-time DP World Tour winner.

Ballesteros led Europe to victory at Valderrama in 1997 as the Ryder Cup was held in continental Europe for the first time and the five-time Major Champion is often spoken of by his countrymen as a golfing inspiration.

That is certainly the case for Postigo but, after a second and a third on the G4D Tour this season, he is looking to make some history of his own.

"It's been a great season on the inaugural year of the G4D Tour," he said.

"We've played at great venues this season but playing at home, at Valderrama for the G4D @ Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters is going to be very special.

"I come from northern Spain, from Pedreña, and it's the 25th anniversary of the first Ryder Cup in Spain led by Seve Ballesteros.

"There's a lot of things connected and I love the venue, I love the golf course, it's just one of the purest out there and I hope I can have a good week.

"I'll be supported by some of my family and it looks to be a great week."
