Harrington calls for Seve role

Padraig Harrington has hit out at golf's administrators for not doing enough to honour Seve Ballesteros.

The Irishman feels Ballesteros, who is recovering from a brain tumour, should be made an ambassador of the European Tour.

"It is a shame that in recent years Seve has not been leading out the European Tour as an ambassador," Harrington told the Sunday Express.

"He has that charisma and just needs to enter a room for everyone to know he is there.

"It's only when something like this happens that you see how much he is missed, so I hope the Tour can build more of a relationship with him and have him at the forefront of our Tour."

Ballesteros has started a course of chemotherapy after being released on December 9 from a Madrid hospital.
